Morphology
The meaning 'a school that teaches people how to drive' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'driving' (the act of operating a vehicle) with 'school' (an institution for teaching). This noun–noun compound follows a common compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun driving school comes from the words driving and school, meaning a place where new drivers take lessons and practice in cars, so it means 'a school that teaches people how to drive'.
