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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Now, I want to read to you what I had read earlier about the pedestrian and the motorist. “Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a crosswalk, at an intersection, or any marked crosswalk shall yield the right of way to all vehicles upon the roadway.” Now, as I told you earlier, you have here a vehicle that was on the roadway and going in reverse. We have here a plaintiff who was crossing at a point other than within a crosswalk at an intersection or at a marked crosswalk. As the law points out, he should yield the right of way to all vehicles upon the roadway. Is that clear to you. Now, there is a section called “Limitation on Backing, Going in Reverse: No driver shall back a vehicle unless the movement can be made with safety and without interfering with other traffic and then only after yielding the right of way to moving traffic and pedestrians,” and this plaintiff was a pedestrian. Is that clear to you?”
