A driver is generally a (relatively) simple executable program designed to exercise some component that isn't directly executable, like a library or ADT or test suite, etc. For example you might have a Table class that supports reading in CSV, and supports outputting to CSV and HTML. You might write a simple program that takes on the command line the name of an input CSV file and a format to output to so you can confirm the Table class does what you expect. All the driver would do is construct an instance of the Table and read in the file and use it to write out in the specified format.
