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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Since where this accident happened cannot be classified or defined as an intersection but occurred on private property, the duties and liabilities of the respective drivers must be governed by the basic principles of common law negligence requiring each person to exercise ordinary and reasonable care which an ordinarily careful and prudent person would exercise under the same or similar circumstances. * * *. “Even though we say the statutory rules of the road are inapplicable, this does not mean the trier of fact, in determining what is ordinary care, cannot rely upon the widely recognized and established practices used in operating vehicles by reason of the common or statutory law. The statutory rules of the road merely set up minimum standards of care. * * *”
