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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Under these circumstances, the alleged failure of the defendant to keep a lookout ahead is immaterial since had he observed the approaching vehicle he would have been authorized to proceed across the intersection notwithstanding its approach. It may be conceded that under some circumstances where one approaches an intersection on the right of another vehicle approaching on an intersecting highway he will not be authorized to proceed into the intersection ahead of the other vehicle or to assume that the other will yield the right of way to him. Such a case might be where the vehicle on the left approaches the intersection at a high rate of speed, with obviously no intention of stopping or yielding the right of way to the vehicle on the right, or where the one on the left enters the intersection ahead of the one on the right. Under such assumed circumstances, it might possibly be negligence, as to those riding as passengers in the vehicle on the right, not to exercise caution, slow down, or stop to permit the passing of the vehicle on the left. However, no such facts or circumstances are alleged in the instant case and the courts are not authorized to hypothesize them where nothing in the petition even remotely implies such facts.””
