What sort of drive? Tarmac will be OK, but even with a weak solution,
paving stones etc will be stained ginger colour. [As well as being very
effective at killing moss, it's also very effective at staining!]

Recommended concentrations seem to vary. I use it a lot, but I just
guess at how much to use. Something around 4 to 10 grams per litre per
sq metre seems popular.

Personally, I'd use as little as necessary to be effective, and then do
a second application after a few weeks.
