This tag is used for schools that offer theoretical and/or practical motor vehicle driving lessons. See Driver's education on Wikipedia.

The current tag usage suggests that users focus on the indoor facilities of a driving school, comprising e.g. an office, a seminar room for theoretical lessons, and a stationary driving simulator.

As education=* has been adopted as the recommended key for tagging all education features, you may want to use education=driving_school instead.
