You intend to go straight on, and the driver of the oncoming vehicle intends to turn left. Do you have to yield the right of way to him?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving straight on along a priority road marked with sign D-1 with plate T-6a, and you are approaching a junction with a direction sign to "Szczecin"; a dark car is coming from the opposite direction, and its driver intends to turn left. You do not have to give way to him - it is he, turning left, who must let you go first. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver who is turning left to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right. When going straight on along the same priority road, you therefore have right of way, and this rule applies regardless of how large the junction is. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 means the continuation of the priority road, and plate T-6a shows its course - here straight on through the junction. You continue, but you exercise particular caution and watch whether the driver turning left is really waiting - if he pulls out in front of your bonnet, right of way will not protect you from a collision.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
