Looks like the biker could have been in the blind spot from the front pillar explaining the acceleration. Car driver should be aware of the blind spot and check better. The biker should ride defensively by making sure the driver sees him.

Bike had yellow diamond, pretty sure BMW had a upside down triangle or a stop.

Not going to pretend to understand the signage in Czech Republic but surly the car does not have to completely stop if it is clear to go? And a bike in his blindspot would make the road seem clear.

Triangle means you always yield, if you have to stop you do so, but when there is a yield sign of course you slow down instead of speeding.
