According to Florida Statutes, Title XXIII, Chapter 316.003, Paragraph 75, a vehicle is described as,
(75)VEHICLE.—Every device, in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, excepting devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.
I am hopeful this clears me of your charge "you may confuse the issue". In fact, I believe it clarifies the issue as that was my original intention.
If you want clarification of any other part of the statute quoted by me, simply go the web site of the aforementioned Florida Statutes.

I agree that the driver of the car should yield to everyone on his right before he turns. It is no different than yielding to pedestrians who are crossing the street going the same direction at the car.
BUT, as my dad used to tell me.. you never want to be DEAD RIGHT.. I would always yield to any vehicle to avoid an accident.
My rule number one in life is the same as Boxing... protect yourself at all times.
