MAASTRICHT/SITTARD - The court in Maastricht sentenced the German-based motorist Rolf S. to 180 hours of community service and 18 months of conditional disqualification from driving. The road pirate had previously been demanded one year in prison and four years of disqualification from driving. The German caused a collision on the provincial road from Brunssum to Sittard in April 2008, killing his girlfriend. The man was charged with culpable homicide. Rolf S. was driving in the direction of Sittard in April 2008, when, according to his own account, he ended up on the other side of the road at a speed of approximately one hundred kilometers per hour and collided with an oncoming car. The driver of this passenger car was seriously injured,while S.' co-driver and friend died in the crash. Research by, among others, the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) has established that Rolf S. must have driven on the provincial road at a speed of between 110 and a maximum of 140 kilometers per hour. Commenting on the verdict, Serge Weening, lawyer for the German, announced that all in all he is "very satisfied" with the verdict for his client.
