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

1. ““Although respondent’s testimony was to the effect that she gave the statutory hand signal for the required distance before making her left turn, she admitted that about the same time that she held out her hand for the signal she saw appellants’ car, more than a hundred and thirty-five feet behind her and in the same lane, but overtaking her. In such a situation, her nonchalant reliance upon the hand signal alone, and her failure to keep the overtaking car under observation in order to make sure that her left turn could be safely made, was at least negligent as a matter of law, and might well have justified inference by the jury that it was a proximate contributing cause of the collision.””
