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.

“"(1) [Defendant] was required to either signal for 100 feet prior to turning or yield the right-of-way to [Plaintiff], and (2) [Plaintiff] had no duty to [Defendant] unless she signaled for 100 feet prior to turning. Since [Defend ant] could not possibly have signaled for 100 feet prior to turning, these instructions required that the jury find [Defendant] negligent." Betchkal, 122 Wis. 2d at 425 .”
