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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motorist in making a right turn has a statutory duty to ascertain that both the approach for the turn and the turn itself shall be made as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway. See LSA-R.S. 32:101. Moreover, a motorist shall not turn a vehicle at an intersection unless the vehicle is in the position above described or otherwise turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety. See LSA-R.S. 32:104. * * * * * * Defendant testified that he surveyed the area before making the turn. However, this did not free him of negligence. In Jones v. Armstead, 169 So.2d 268 (La.App. 1 Cir. 1964) the court found a driver making a right turn negligent for looking in his mirror and not seeing the following car, stating: "To look and not [to] see [a] vehicle is equivalent of not looking at all and is negligence." Davis v. Bowman, 346 So.2d 225 (La. App. 4 Cir.1977)”
