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 95 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is well settled that the Legislature has the constitutional power to impose both a criminal and civil or administrative sanction in respect to the same act or omission ... The double jeopardy clause merely prohibits attempting a second time to punish criminally for the same offense ... The proceedings before the Director ... are administrative and not criminal, even though they arise out of the commission of an offense punishable by the courts ... Although the suspension or revocation of a driver’s license by the Director may appear to be punishment to the wrongdoer, this is not enough to characterize the statutory grant of power as criminal in nature. The primary object of the statute is to foster safety on the highway and not to impose criminal punishment to vindicate public justice.” 179 A.2d at 738 .”
