Pulled up at the lights behind 2 or 3 other cars and waited. A mouth breather pulled in behind me and was clearly unhappy with my primary position, honking and shouting to get out the road. We're still not moving at red light. I turned to ask what was up and he drove car into the back of my bike. Not much impact but enough to buckle my mudguard up. Got my phone out and snapped some pics then moved to side of road to fix mudguard so wheel would turn again. Knobface drove off, no surprise. Very disappointed by other drivers, who must've witnessed, swearing at me as they drove off. Team car delayed by self righteous cyclist I guess.
Reported it police, forwarded photos and they've got back saying the will review CCTV next week. It's a big city centre junction with cameras, so maybe it'll be on there. I have low expectations of what'll happen but needed reporting.
All so unnecessary, and leaves me further disappointed in humans.
