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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There is no doubt but that defendant was guilty of negligence in not heeding the direction of the 'Stop' sign, as required by law. He, however, claims that plaintiff had ample time to avoid the accident, and that if plaintiff had made proper observations and seen defendant's car turning into M-37 ahead of him, he could have come to a stop within 12 to 15 feet and thus avoided the accident. * * *”
