Florida traffic law does not recognize a "right of way". They have "failure to yield". It seems like a small distinction. But even if they other guy is supposed to yield to you, you have an obligation to avoid an accident with a bozo who fails to yield if it is possible. In Florida law, no one has the "right" to run into someone else.
It is a small distinction and mostly a semantic one but it is probably better to stress the responsibilty to yield rather than talking of a right which really doesn't exist. There is no right- no right to run into someone and no right to suddenly go into someone's path.
It's actually an important and meaningful distinction. The maritime "rules of the road" also avoid using the term "right of way" for the same reasons. The basic idea is to encourage everyone to be cautious and take responsibility. (That is, err on the side of caution and "drive defensively".)
In a sense, one doesn't "take" the so-called "right of way", one is "given" it. If it isn't being given (ie, a failure to yeild), then there exists a requirement (legal or commonsense) to try avoid a conflict (ie, collision). The idea is cooperation coordinated/guided by standard rules (the traffic rules).
The result (ideally) is a two level safety system: 1) regular rules of behavior/interaction and caution/responsibility when those rules happen to fail.
