Lances, Ride By Attack, and Straight Lines

[Evershifter]

We have a rather rules strict DM at the moment, and I'm wondering what other people have done to come up with to solves the following dilemma.

When you charge you must move to the nearest square you are able to make an attack from.
Ride-by Attack allows you to continue your movement after your attack, without provoking Attacks of Opportunity from your target, by continuing in a straight line.
This straight line inevitably causes you to collide with your opponent 10 feet later and then stopping.

Even though you don't provoke attacks of opportunity, you cannot move through their space.
Overrun says you can do it as a standard action.
Ride-by attack says you must continue in a straight line.

So, thoughts?

This thread is about that question too, and a developer weighed in on it. Read both pages though.

Move to and through the square adjacent to them (or within your 10 ft reach), your Lance has reach?

Just think jousting ... the knights don't collide with each other. They pass each other, typically in adjacent 'lanes'.
