Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““* * * Defendant turned his car from a direct course in the highway into the lane of traffic intended for vehicles traveling in the opposite direction at a time when plaintiff’s car was approaching in such close proximity that the collision occurred as soon as the front end of defendant’s car had reached a few feet into plaintiff’s lane of traffic. Had plaintiff’s car run into the rear end of defendant’s car after the front end thereof had entirely crossed plaintiff’s course of travel, there might have been some question whether the turn could be made with reasonable safety, but under the facts in this case it is clear that as a matter of law the turn could not be made with reasonable safety, and the defendant was guilty of negligence. * * *””
