The Telegraph is reporting a scientific formula for perfect parallel parking. Developed by Vauxhall Motors and math professor Simon Blackburn (who evidently have time on their hands for things such as this):
The formula gives the minimum extra length the parking space needs to be, over the length of your car.
r = radius of your car’s curb to the curb turning circle
l = your car’s wheel base
k = the distance from the centre of the front wheel to the front of your car
w = the width of the parked car next to your car
We provided the formula in case anyone is headed into town.
