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 60 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[(1)] the suit of the favored driver against the unfavored driver, [(2)] the unfavored driver against the favored driver, [ (3) ] the passenger of an unfavored driver against the favored driver, [ (4) ] the passenger of an unfavored driver against both drivers, [ (5) ] the passenger of the favored driver against both drivers, [ (6) ] the passenger of the favored driver against the unfavored driver, [ (7) ] the passenger of the favored driver against the favored driver, and, finally, [(8)] counterclaims so that the favored and unfavored drivers are suing each other.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Dennard v. Green · Mallard v. Earl““Certain principles emerge from those cases. The boulevard rule is intended to expedite the flow of traffic on the boulevard. * * * The duty of an unfavored driver to stop and yield the right-of-way is mandatory, positive, and inflexible. * * * Accordingly, an unfavored driver violates this requirement at his own risk. Thus, unless the doctrine of last clear chance is involved, an unfavored driver’s claim as a plaintiff is defeated by his failure to yield the right-of-way, since he is then guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law.” (Citations omitted).”
