Richard A. Retting
Senior Transportation Engineer

There're few that are more deserving than Mr. Retting for this first Safety of Hall Shame award. His leadership over the years has succesfully placed the lives of 300 plus million people in great jepordy every day.

How did Mr, Retting and the IIHS do this? We have the best Congress money can buy and with his credentials, he was able to become a key player in public policy, and IIHS had the money to buy Congress and mislead the public, too. Collectively the IIHS, USDOT, Governer's association, IACP et al has been responsible for more deaths and injuries than all our disaster and wars since WWII.

Mr. Retting role was as a front man for public theft ring by the insurance companies. They look normal, spend hundreds of millions on PC PR, work with public sector, live among us... But over the decades the IIHS along with Mr. Retting for-profit efforts has contributed directly to the deaths of hundreds of thousands and injuries to millions more... for the money! The harm and cost to society has been immeasurable!
