ciao,
una cosa non mi è chiara: la macchina aveva la precedenza e non ti ha fatto passare o al contrario avevi la precedenza tu e lei non l'ha rispettata?
così magari ti posso aiutare con la traduzione...

Not necessarily Fede, but it implies that Gianpy had the right of way and the car didn't respect it and did not give him way as he explained:
" Io avevo precedenza e la macchina non me l'ha data."
Whether the car had right of way or not is not clear in his definition, I guess.

@Cherry
Does your sentence imply that the car has the right of way? just to be sure I've understood correctly =)
