The driver of which vehicle must give way?

Explanation

The driver of the passenger car must give way; the truck goes first. Priority has nothing to do with weight or size and always follows the same fixed order: police officer, traffic lights, priority signs, the tram's priority in equal conditions, and finally the right-hand rule — here that order happens to favour the truck, not its bulk. To solve such questions quickly, ask whose movement blocks whom: the car has to cross in front of the truck, while the truck blocks no part of the car's path. As a safety note, a loaded truck's stopping distance is far longer than a car's, so pulling into its path is an expensive mistake even when the gap looks sufficient.
