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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[tjhere is nothing in the record to indicate that [when Lowe violated the Maryland drunk driving statute] he was driving a motor vehicle.... When the [c]ourt examines the entire statutory prohibition of the Maryland statute, it is readily apparent that the Maryland statute permits convictions not permitted under Code § 18.2-266.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the record of appellant’s convictions ... indicate[d] only that he was convicted under a state statute and a city ordinance. This description permitted] us to conclude only that the appellant committed the offense while operating a motor vehicle. It [did] not specify the specific provision of the ordinance he violated.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[i]f a conviction in another state is based on conduct which is not a violation of Code § 18.2-266, then to consider it under Code § 46.2-351 would, without authority, expand the scope of the convictions which could be considered beyond that which the General Assembly specifically authorized.”
