School Run Advice

Each morning I've got 3 school drop offs, my two eldest at secondary and 2 youngest at two different primary schools (dc3 needed to move schools). Anyway after dropping dc3 off at a cut through to her school I was met by a really aggressive lady, I was turning the turning circle and about to pull off when she pulled forward in front of me to get to her drive and shout 'what the f am I doing?' and then shout I should 'f off and she would 'kill me' all in front of dc4 age 7!
I just drove off without saying anything as I did t want to scare dc4 but honestly I feel like this is completely unacceptable, advice please on what I can do ...

Id be interested to hear her version.

If there’s a turning circle is it a small cul de sac? Guessing she’s fed up of being unable to access her property if people are using it as a cut though drop off point

Nothing. You don't do anything.
Do not engage if you see her again. If DC asks about the incident just say sometimes people get upset and act inappropriately or shout. She might have been upset about something or in a panic to get in for some reason and having a car in what she perceived to be her way just tipped her over the edge. Im not justifying her behaviour but you don't know what's going on with people. It would probably be annoying having people constantly doing drop offs in front of her house.
But you don't have to do anything at all. If you are legally entitled to drive there and turn just do that.

Don't see what having 3 drop offs has to do with it.
