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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Indeed, the application itself provides an opportunity to inquire with regard to others who will drive the insured vehicle under item No. 6, `We Need to Know These Things About People Living In Your Household (including students and military personnel) Who Operate Any Vehicle.'
