Not the best way to memorize, especially if parking on the left side of the road (eg one way street, or driving in HK/Thailand/Australia).
I just think "which direction should I turn so that the front wheels will catch the curb if the car rolls?"
Of course, if there is NO curb, the wheel needs to be turned the opposite way, so that the car won't keep rolling into the middle of the road.
OP, with regards to speed limits.. this is what they taught us at bike school.
Always go +5 everywhere you go, EXCEPT school zones where you do 27.
Oh, and stall when turning left (turn when yellow, even if there is little traffic while green), and shoulder-check a few extra times when parking to kill time.
