Could someone explain to me the logic of this? I don't even understand the sentencec word by word xD
These are the terms used in the traffic rules and laws. To yield or to give the right of way or dát přednost v jízdě is to not to endanger another vehicle and let it pass the intersaction or some other part of the road or the highway.

Takže mohu použít jak yield tak give the right of way? Není v tom žádný rozdíl? Can I use yield even give the right of way? There is no difference?
Záleží na místě. V různých zemích mají jiné preference. Významový rozdíl v tom není.

So, it really means to let other people overtake you? I also read VladaFu's explanation but wasn't sure. Now it really makes sense to me.
No. None of the expressions mentioned here (give way, yield, dát přednost) mean letting someone overtake you. Overtaking is something that applies to the same direction of travel, where a faster car overtakes a slower one. This is something else - it's letting other vehicles (in other directions) go first in an intersection. I believe the German term is "Vorfahrt gewähren".

Oh! Now this makes sense, also in relation to the other sentences that features this formulation. Thanks for clarifying, I was just unfamiliar with the English expression.
Yes, there are many accepted variants of this sentence that use "...yield [the right-of-way/his right-of-way/right-of-way/the way/way/]".
