Yes, in most jurisdictions, you are required to stop before entering a road from a driveway. This is to ensure that you have a clear view of oncoming traffic and to prevent accidents. Always yield to pedestrians and other vehicles on the road before merging. Checking local traffic laws is recommended, as regulations can vary.
When entering or crossing a road, street, or highway from a private road, alley, building, or driveway after stopping prior to the sidewalk, you shall yield the right-of-way to all approaching vehicles and pedestrians.
You must STOP - look both ways to make sure it is safe and exit the alley or driveway slowly to prevent from hitting pedestrians.
Stop completely before entering the crosswalk or intersection, then proceed when you can do so safely. Vehicles on the intersecting road may not have to stop.
Pretty much every city/county/state law says to stop before exiting any alley, parking lot, gas station, food joint, etc, onto a street or hiway unless there's a traffic sign saying otherwise. That even means your driveway believe it or not.
Yes, when entering a road from a gas station, you are typically required to stop and yield to oncoming traffic. This is important for safety and to comply with traffic laws. Always check for any signs or signals that may apply to the specific location. Remember to ensure the road is clear before merging into traffic.

Yes. Driveways and private roads are a yield rather than a stop.
What type of driveway? Was it a curving and could not see the car before rounding the curve? Is it straight; then why did you not see the car blocking the driveway before even getting into car and/or backing..
No. You can still be ticketed for failure to stop.
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. It certainly is not safe to come to a stop on the highway and back into your driveway nor is it safe to back out of your driveway onto the highway. I have a straight driveway and it's not illegal to back out onto a minor residential street.
It depends. Which bumper is still in your driveway, your front or rear? Did the other car leave the roadway and hit your car? After you came to a full stop did you then proceed to back out and then got hit? If any part of your car was in the roadway then it would most probably be your fault. Any vehicle that is entering into traffic from a driveway is required to yield the right of way to those vehicles traveling within the roadway. If you stuck 2 inches of your car into the road and you were hit, it would be your fault.
'I was in an accident last night, I stopped at the stop sign, saw another car coming down the road, belived they had a stop sign so I proceeded to cross the road and was hit (found out he did not have a stop sign) he was arrested for DUI and i was cited for entering an intersection.'
