We have simulated the dynamics of a 2D gas of hard needles by event-oriented molecular dynamics. Various quantities namely translational and rotational diffusion constants and intermediate self scattering function have been explored and their dependence on density is obtained. Despite absence of positional ordering, the rotational degree of freedom behaves nontrivially. Slowing down is observed in the angular part of the motion. It is shown that above a certain density the rotational mean squared displacement exhibits a three stage regime including a plateau.
