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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] jury question on the issue exists where there is substantial evidence: (1) That the object with which the operator collided was located ahead of him in his lane of travel; (2) That such object was reasonably discernible; and (3)That the object was (a) static or stationary, (b) moving ahead of him in the same direction as such operator, or (e) came into his lane of travel within the assured clear distance ahead at a point sufficiently distant ahead of him to have made it possible to bring his vehicle to a stop and avoid a collision.”
