There's this thread:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/sho....php?t=5047836
about monetary reward for doing well at school.
I don't think it's in any way workable due to an array of factors.
One thing I've been thinking about for a long time though, would be to have driving / driving tests integrated into schooling. If students can show improvement or sustain certain levels, then they are eligible for the (free) driving programme - which is taught outside the school and delivered by local instructors by way of a voucher system.
Not perfect, but its non-monetary and may well appeal to most strata of students.

And what about people who aren't allowed to drive due to medical problems?

The school issues a voucher, backed by government, which is redeemed by the instructor - so either local or central government, whichever is cheaper
Schools are already massively having their funding cut so while it is a good idea in theory it would be way to expensive to do...
Then you also have to consider would it also be the government forking out the £90 or so for the theory and practical test? -

Too late, self driving cars are eventually going to replace driving altogether.

Government (local or national) certainly isn't going to pay for this. No-one has a human right to drive. You want it, you pay for it. Welcome to life.
