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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Any person arrested for driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor upon the public highways in this State shall be deemed to have given his consent to submit to a chemical test of his breath, blood, or urine for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of his blood.” 21 Del.C.Sec. 2740B (now 2742) states: “If after his arrest, the person refuses to submit to the chemical test when requested to do so, the test shall not be given . . .. The police officer shall inform the person at the time of requesting the test of the possible consequences of his refusal to submit to the test— namely, suspension and revocation of his license, permit or privilege to drive a motor vehicle within this State for a period of 6 months.””
