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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute of limitations * * if properly pleaded, may bar the liability of the owner of an automobile for imputed negligence of the driver thereof who is operating the machine with the owner’s consent, under Section 402 of the Vehicle Code, or the liability of the parents of the driver who have signed and verified his application for an operator’s license as required by Section 352 of the Vehicle Code, unless the action is commenced within one year from the date of the injury complained of.
