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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(c) Any person who operates a motor vehicle upon a highway or public vehicle area after consuming such quantity of intoxicating liquor as directly and visibly affects his operation of said vehicle, shall be guilty of reckless driving and such offense shall be a lesser included offense of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor as defined by G.S. 20-130 as amended.”
