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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“§ 46.2-801. Chapter applicable to drivers of all vehicles regardless of ownership. — The provisions of this chapter applicable to the drivers of vehicles on the highways shall apply to the drivers of all vehicles regardless of their ownership, subject to such exceptions as are set forth in this chapter. § 46.2-828. Right-of-way for funeral processions under police or sheriff’s escort. — Funeral processions traveling under police or sheriff’s escort shall have the right-of-way in any highway through which they may pass .... § 46.2-833. Traffic lights. — Signals by traffic lights shall be as follows: Steady red indicates that moving traffic shall stop and remain stopped as long as the red signal is shown .... Green indicates the traffic shall move in the direction of the signal and remain in motion as long as the green signal is given, except that such traffic shall yield to other vehicles ... lawfully within the intersection. § 46.2-834. Signals by law enforcement officers and crossing guards. Law enforcement officers . . . may assume control of traffic otherwise controlled by lights, and in such event, signals by such officers . . . shall take precedence over such traffic control devices.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Johnson v. Walker“There is no provision in the Code which specifically excepts persons driving in a procession, funeral or otherwise, from obeying signal lights other than where an officer of the law assumes control of the traffic. There was no such officer controlling traffic at the intersection at the time of the collision. That being the case, we must hold, as we did in Virginia Transit Co. v. Tidd, supra, that the signal light provisions of § 46.1-168 controlled the flow of traffic at the intersection where the accident occurred. 210 Va. at 58-9 , 168 S.E.2d at 106 .”
