This driver did not use or did not have brake lights on when I was driving behind them today. Luckily I realized it soon and gave them extra distance.

Driving around 45 mph on an open road, driver's rear tire thread separated from tire, damaged rear bumper and frame, the detached thread COULD have damaged other cars behind me (thankfully it did not), there were no warning lamps and tires were in good shape before the drive, replaced with a spare and drove back home, the car is a 2000 GMC Chevy Express Van (purchased in 2000), tires were included with the vehicle when purchased, car was not driven much, present odometer 8,000 miles, tire is Firestone LT 24575R16

GENERAL GRABBER HTS BELT SLIPPED WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON AUG 23, 2020. THIS IS THE 5TH TIRE FAILURE (SLIPPED BELT) OR THIS EXACT TIRE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS TIRE HAD 6,721 MILES ON IT. GENERAL HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR 10 PLY TIRES. WERE IT NOT FOR MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO DETECT A SLIPPED BELT, A SEVERE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED! NHSTA SHOULD PERFORM A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION; AS AN ENGINEER WITH EXCELLENT DOCUMENTATION, I COULD CONTRIBUTE VALUABLE DATA.
