After you have lived legally in the UK for two years, you will be able to apply for permission to settle here. This is known as 'indefinite leave to remain'..do not send your application more than 28 days before you become eligible to apply. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/settlement/

Yes you can work on a spouse visa, you need to apply for a National Insurance number see this link - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/BeginnersGuideToTax/NationalInsurance/IntroductiontoNationalInsurance/DG_190057

Yes you can learn to drive. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/index.htm
