I believe the answer is:

cannibalism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'driving' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'als minicab around the north to find evidence of flesh-eating' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'around' could be 'ca' (circa) and 'ca' is present in the answer.
'north' could be 'n' (abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cannibalism that I've seen before include "Eating someone else" , "Like eating like" , "The eating of one's own species" , "illegal consumption" , "The eating of fellow humans" .)
