Monkey on a Motorbike

Grrrrrrr, I was (and am still) so annoyed
I stopped at a red light at a round-about with traffic lights on it at the weekend (i.e I am first at the lights) when another couple of cars came up either side in their lanes, and then a few others behind them.
Next thing i know this monkey on a motorbike with a passenger on the back is squeezing through between my side and the car to the right of me, litterally missing my wing mirror by less than 2cm, when the idiot hits the front wing of my car with his pannier. Tw@t. So I get out and say "What are you doing? You nearly took my wing mirror off aswell". "Sorry" he says, "I cant see any scratches". Anyway after inspecting my car and quizzing him why he felt the need to get to the front when he was only one car back from the lights he says "Look, I have said I am sorry" in an arguementative tone, which really p1$$ed me off. It was him who hit me the tw@t. So after carefully looking over my car and not being able to see any marks and having a few words with him, even though he had a decent scuff on his pannier, I let it go.
Have checked the car a few more time since, and cant see any marks, but no doubt when I clean it next I will find something
Now, I dont have anything against motorcyclists, I have a few friends who are, and I am a cyclist, but why did this idiot feel the need to really squeeze through a tight gap between two cars to get one car space in front.
