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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While Draper’s actual intention, whether to dislodge or frighten the boys on the running board or otherwise, would bear upon his intention and its wantonness, plaintiff was not obliged to point out what was actually in his mind. One may not claim freedom from a charge of wilful and wanton misconduct, as a matter of law, and on a plea of innocent intention, if he voluntarily misdrives an automobile into a place of obvious danger if others are within the range of injury from it.””
