I was exiting from the car park when this van refused to give me way even though I had the right of way and I had being kind enough to let several cars through. He deliberately passed the empty space so that he could block me.

My little one started coughing violoently again which I suppose triggered the lioness in me [embarrassed]. I stopped the car and picked her up. Got the medicine I had just picked up from chemist and gave her. By this time other cars were passing behind the van and taking the one way that leads into the park. A young woman came shouting at me, but 2 older ladies came in my defence and told her off. They also told the man that he was in the wrong and he's being a bully. After perhaps 5mins or so he drove over the carb and got into the car park.

I felt great for standing up to a bully.

Although driving home I wondered if dd hadn't triggered the maternal pain you feel when your child is in pain would I have behaved that way. Also if it was a fellow mother would I have thought of her as a bully or I would have silently muttered some obscene and reversed for her?

Good on you OP, although, I've found that a few choice questions can put the bully on the sopt and shame them into backing off.
