Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a housing estate street towards a junction; before it, on the right, there is sign A-7 "give way" - so you are on a minor road; you intend to go straight on, and a motorcyclist is coming from the opposite direction along the same street and turning left. Sign A-7 requires you to give way to vehicles on the intersecting road, but between you and the motorcyclist, who is on the same road, the general rule applies: a driver turning left gives way to a driver going straight on. You are not obliged to give way to him. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver turning left to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right; the Regulation on road signs and signals specifies that A-7 warns of a junction with a priority road. So you let the vehicles on the intersecting road pass, and the motorcyclist waits for you - even so, you watch him, because drivers turning left often misjudge the distance.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
