Drive off

Hi teachers. I'm writing a movie script and wanted to ask you something. If a scene is taking place inside a car, is it possible to write: Tanya gets in, starts the car, and drives off.

Or can I only use "drives off" if the scene had taken place outside the car?

I see your problem, I think. "Off" calls attention to the place she is leaving in the car. but that's probably OK.

  • She can drive off if all you mean is she sets the car in motion under her control and leaves the area thus.
