Just to be clear, you undertook a bus? You pulled into the left hand lane, where things are likely to be slower moving or stationary, without being able to see what was there? Or without first looking to see?
If it had been a stationary bus (i.e. something allowed to be there), you'd have faceplanted that and had no comeback at all. If it had been a pedestrian (again, perfectly allowed), you might have done them some damage and be on the other end of a complaint to the police. But it was somebody illegally parked, so your liability vanishes?
