The TREAD Act included a number of important safety measures that have benefited
consumers, but we want to focus here on a vitally important provision in TREAD
requiring NHTSAafter years of failing to address the rollover problemto develop and
conduct dynamic driving tests it had developed to measure vehicle rollover resistance
and report those findings to consumers.
