The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““We are convinced from our own review of the record, as was the trial court, that the accident was brought about by the fact that defendants’ truck was being operated on the wrong side of the road and in the path and lane of travel of plaintiff’s truck, a portion of the highway, by statute and the rules of the road, reserved exclusively for traffic proceeding in a direction opposite to that in which defendant was traveling.

Cutrer, 232 La. 655 , 95 So.2d 139 ; LeJeune v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., La.App., 107 So.2d 509 ; Bond v. Spillers, La.App., 107 So.2d 706 ; Soileau v.
