It is permissible for this woman to learn how to drive a car if her instructor is a mahram to her or a woman, while observing the Shariah-compliant regulations when she goes out. It is not permissible for the questioner to drive her or her adult daughters unless there is someone present who prevents khalwa (private seclusion).
