Rammed

After 10 years I've had my first proper road accident, I was rammed on my way to work this morning... By a Vauxhall Astra at Hindhead in Hampshire.
First the damage pic's.


Right.. now I was filtering past the traffic at Hindhead, a rather bad traffic blackspot on the A3, I was coming up to a junction with traffic queued on the left and a traffic island and marked chevrons in the middle. I filtered round the traffic on the inside of the traffic island and then outside past a BT van. I must have been about 1 and half maybe 2 car lenght's when I noticed the car pull out. He seemed to hesitate (I was braking), then pull out again and hit me. I'm a little unsure of these details but I do have 2 witnesses. I flipped off the bike as it went down and kind of spider-ed in the road (Jax found that funny), after muttering bugger got up and helped the bloke on a BMW who had stopped pick my bike up and move it to the side of the road. Everyone was asking if I was OK and the passer by and BT van driver gave me there details. The bloke in the car asked if I was OK and gave me his details, though I think he looked a bit more shocked about it then me. Checked over the bike, made sure it was running. Took a few photos, ran the wife and my Team leader then went on my way.
