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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon a first conviction of any person hereunder the commissioner shall revoke his driver’s license when and as such revocation is recommended by the court before which such conviction was had. Upon a second or subsequent conviction of any person under this section, the commissioner shall revoke his driver’s license. Any person whose driver’s license has been revoked, refused, suspended or cancelled may file a petition for a hearing in the matter in the District Court in the county wherein such person is residing, for the purpose of having said license reinstated in the discretion of said District Court.””
