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.
“INSTRUCTION NO. 26: Montana law provides that drivers of motor vehicles approaching an intersection have a duty to see what is in plain view and what should be seen in the exercise of reasonable care. A driver must look not only straight ahead but laterally ahead. A person is presumed to see, and therefore know, that which he could see by keeping a lookout. The failure of a motorist approaching a controlled intersection to see what was plainly visible or obviously apparent makes him chargeable for failure to see what he should have seen had he been in the exercise of reasonable care.”
