Pfft, right - Nader hasn't gotten to that yet. Okay.

Things you want to look for - make sure all the tires are still inflated and such, or the kids haven't left something behind the car.
Activate the driving brake, key in the ignition, and start the engine.

The only reason to not stop at the end of the driveway is if someone is shooting at you, or a similar emergency. Check both directions, because the traffic in the street has right of way.
