Over the line

As you approach junctions very often white lines split the traffic into lanes. As you get closer to the junction the lines appear so the traffic can split into the right lane. However when it is really busy you can't get to you lane as there are cars in the way. What people are doing is jumping past the queue of cars to get to their line. If you are crossing the junction and going in the opposite direction you can often meet these cars on your side of the road. The other day I met a Chelsea Tractor doing this and I am afraid the driver did not see me or had decided I was expendable. Later that week another driver in his desire to get past me banged mirrors with me. Even more incredible on the same road a driver skipped past several of us and then nipped back into our lane! I don't know how to fix this but its just another symptom of a lack of courtesy on our roads..
