I'm pretty sure it's a nationwide law that you have to stop if a school bus stops, regardless of the side of the road it stops on. You'll get in a lot of trouble if you don't (it's a felony offense).
A couple of random things off the top of my head:
If you're driving down a 2+ lane road you have to get over if an emergency vehicle is stopped on the hard shoulder.
If you're parking at the side of the road you have to park in the same direction as the flow of traffic (is that a law in the UK?)
If it's raining you have to put your headlights on (is that a law in the UK too?)
I'd look on the state DMV website for any literature for learner/new drivers.As our road trip looms closer I'm starting to wonder if there is any preparation I should be doing for driving in the US. Driving duties will be split between three of us, two of the guys have extensive driving experience over there, I've never driven on anything other than UK roads. Obviously my plan is to let them handle the city driving bits early on, I'll handle some of the less crowded stretches until I get my confidence up, but is there any sensible preparation I can do before hand? Realise this will probably sound like a moronic question to most experienced drivers.
