What is the best way to shovel snow on a driveway?

Its a big driveway with the usual cracks and stuff. What is the fastest way to get rid of it along with the ice that comes with it? I have a regular shovel and i would like some techniques to make it easier.

And no answers saying buy a snow blower or buy whatever.
it starts kinda flat but then is a relatively steep downhill. completely straight.

and i dont need to worry about health really, im 14 lol

    Push shovel with snow to sides & down toward boulevard. Less lifting is better.

    How ever you do it, shovel it away from the house or your basement will leak. If the drive runs down hill, allow gravity to help you. Don't over extend yourself or at the very least you will get sore muscles, and at the very most you will have a heart attack. Slow and steady as she goes.
