Yes, you must pay Zakat on any income earned from giving driving lessons if it remains in your possession on your Zakat anniversary.
The key principle in determining Zakat eligibility is whether the income remains in your possession on your Zakat due date.
For instance
If you have been saving a portion of your lesson fees throughout the year. On your Zakat calculation date, if the total savings exceed the Nisab, Zakat must be paid.
If the earnings have already been spent before your Zakat date, you may lack sufficient wealth. Zakat is not required on those earnings if they do not meet the Nisab threshold.
And Allah knows best!
