He means that he wasn't watching where he was going and failed to
stop, consequently colliding with a stationary vehicle and no doubt
causing damage..

That sounds like his fault rather than anyone else's - and it's his
OWN version.

He collides with another vehicle due to his own failings and he
intends to "remonstrate" with the person in the (no doubt) damaged
stationary vehicle who was not at fault?

What planet is this "Bishopsgate" place on?

Only a cyclist could be that stupid and law evading, and still think
that they are in the right.
