Something I've noticed that works for me is when I'm approaching an intersection, going straight through, and the driver coming in the opposite direction is waiting in the middle of the road to turn right, if I change my trajectory just slightly to aim more straight towards them, they don't try nip in front of me. If you stay on the same line parallel to pavement there's a greater chance of the driver trying to just quickly get past in front of me. Works when I'm in a roundabout with people waiting to enter too. Aim for the space they intending to enter. Not sure why it works but it does, seems to make people back off.
