There is no such thing as "an automobile driver with the right of
way." It's basic driver's ed. You NEVER "have" the right of way.

A driver can have the right of way.

I wonder about your source for Arizona law.

It's simple logic. At the accident scene the cop is talking to the
drivers. He tells the one getting the ticket that he's at fault because
the other driver had the right of way.

When I checked for California, there were lots of pages claiming
circumstances where the driver has the right of way, but they are
all just trying to keep things simple and readable.

And factual. You're arguing semantics. Even though the code may say
'vehicle', it is not the responsible party in traffic law. The driver is...

The actual code doesn't give anyone the right of way at an
intersection:

I spent hundreds of hours in traffic court in a prior life and no lawyer
or judge ever had a problem with with the codified driver-vehicle right
of way distinction.

As I said, it details circumstances under which you must yield to
another vehicle.

Yup. AZ law is written pretty much the same...
