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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “<< * ⅜ ⅜ As demonstrated both in Sinclair Oil & Gas Co. v. Armour, 172 Okl. 442 , 45 P.2d 754 , and by the cases quoted in Lee v. Pesterfield, 77 Okl. 317 , 188 P. 674, 675, 676 , such ‘favored’ driver’s right of way does not relieve him from the duty of exercising reasonable care and caution not to injure others at the intersection; and whether or not he has discharged this duty, like the question of whether the ‘unfavored’ driver entering the intersection has discharged his duty of using due care under the circumstances (see Hansen v. Cunningham, Okl., 258 P.2d 906 , quoting Wilkinson v. Marcellus, 51 Cal.App.2d 630 , 125 P.2d 584, 586 ) is a question for determination by the trier of facts, which, in this jury-waived case, was the trial judge. As speed was not the only issue itpon which his negligence or lack of it, depended, or on which the trial court obviously predicated the judgment, plaintiff’s arguments fall short of demonstrating that his negligence was not the proximate cause of the collision, or that the judgment was without competent evidence reasonably tending to support it.” (Emphasis added)”
