Finding out the answer to these sorts of questions is what courts are for.

Only onto a major road or junction, or by a local ordinance. Otherwise we would all have a U shaped driveway. You need a turn-around area in your driveway.

I have a straight driveway and it's not illegal to back out onto a minor residential street.
