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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It will be observed from the provisions of our traffic law aforementioned that a violation of the basic rule regulating speed subjects the violator to a penalty, and that a violation of that rule, aggravated by an accompanying violation of the indicated' speeds applicable to the district in which he is driving, subjects him to a much greater penalty; but when he'drives faster than the indicated speed without violating- the basic rule he is subject to no penalty. In other words, one can drive through a residence district at a speed greater than the indicated speed without being subject to a penalty. But even though he is driving within the indicated speed, he subjects himself to a penalty if he is driving faster than the basic rule permits. Our traffic law, therefore,- sets no arbitrary limitations upon speed by designating in numerals maximum speeds.””
