You intend to go straight ahead, and the driver of the oncoming vehicle intends to turn left. Are you obliged to yield the right of way to him?

In the video, you are driving a lorry towards a junction with sign A-7 "give way" and plate T-6c showing that the priority road bends, crossing your direction; you intend to go straight on, and the oncoming vehicle is turning left. You must give way to it. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road, and plate T-6c under it shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction. The plate shows that the priority road bends and includes the direction in which the oncoming vehicle turning left is travelling - that vehicle stays on the priority road the whole time, and you are on the minor road. The rule that a driver turning left gives way to a driver going straight on applies to roads of equal status; here the signs decide. That is why you stop or slow down so that you do not force the turning driver to change speed or path, and you move off only when the priority road is clear. T-6 plates must be read carefully: the thick line is the priority road, the thin one is yours - mixing them up at this junction ends with you driving into the path of the turning vehicle that has right of way.
