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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a) A person shall not drive or be in actual physical control of any vehicle while: “(1) There is 0.08 percent or more by weight of alcohol in his or her blood; “(2) Under the influence of alcohol; “(3) Under the influence of a controlled substance to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving; “(4) Under the combined influence of alcohol and a controlled substance to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving; or “(5) Under the influence of any substance which impairs the mental or physical faculties of such person to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving.””

1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Thomas““[§] 32-5A-191(a)(l) does cover the offense of driving or being in actual physical control of a vehicle while ‘[t]here is 0.10 percent or more by weight of alcohol in [one’s] blood[,]’.... the mere reference to this particular subsection was clearly not sufficient to apprise Bishop of the specific offense with which he was charged.””
