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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court charges the jury that it is the law of the State of Mississippi that a signal of intention to turn right or left shall be given continuously for a reasonable distance before turning. This is a law relating to the operation of a motor vehicle. It provides that a motorist is not only under a duty to keep a proper lookout for other vehicles using the highway, but also not to turn his vehicle from a direct course upon the highway unless such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then after giving a proper signal by hand or proper signal mechanically so that the other vehicle will not be affected by such movement.””
