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.
““Where a car has actually entered an intersection before the other approaches it, and when the other car does not constitute an immediate hazard, the driver of the first car has the right to assume that he will be given the right of way and be permitted to pass through the intersection without danger of collision! He has the right to assume, until the contrary appears, that the driver of the other car will obey the law, slow down, and yield the right of way, if slowing down be necessary to prevent a collision. ’ ’”
