You had me puzzled if this was just custom. I googled the Florida law. It stated, "when two vehicles arrive at an intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the left must give way to the vehicle on the right.". Not likely it is going to happen often. Plus, one driver will probably wave the other driver on. Most people tend to want to wait for their own safety. I know I would.
Plus, you can't sue someone in Florida. We live in a no fault state. All you can do is get the insurance company to pay for damages and bodily injury. Boy! Bet I just opened a can of worms! Please google if Florida is a no-fault state before attacking. I'm just the messenger, I do not create Florida laws.
