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.
“Every driver who approaches an uncontrolled intersection of a street of equal dignity has some degree of duty, depending upon the circumstances, to proceed cautiously and determine before entering the intersection whether he can safely cross. A determination of fault in such a collision is made by examining the conduct of the motorist under all the circumstances and facts of each case including the consideration of direction or right of way. Zemo v. Louviere, 349 So.2d 420 La.App. 4th Cir.1977.”
