Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are leaving a small street in a housing estate, next to which there are signs D-41 "end of residential area" and D-47 "end of internal road", and you intend to turn right, while a car is coming from the left. Leaving a residential area and an internal road is joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu), so you do not have right of way over the vehicle from the left. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that joining traffic takes place, among other situations, when entering a road from a residential area and from a road that is not a public road, and a driver joining traffic must exercise particular caution and give way to other vehicles. The right-hand rule does not apply here, because this is not a junction of roads of equal status. You stop before the roadway, wait until the car from the left has passed, and only then do you turn.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 58 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
