Are we required to give way to the truck?

Explanation

Not required. The filling station on the right is not a road but an adjoining area, and a truck driver emerging from such an area must give way to all vehicles and pedestrians travelling on the road. You are on the main carriageway going straight ahead, so you owe nothing — on the contrary, the truck must wait for you to pass. Exits from adjoining areas are places where a vehicle enters a fast-moving stream at near-zero speed from a blind angle, and the truck is stationary with a full view both ways, so waiting costs it nothing. The exam point is the hand-signal option: another driver's hand signal creates no priority — only a traffic controller's signals bind other drivers.
