Can you be forced to drive at work?

My wife has never driven since passing her test a few years ago when our son was born. She works in a small firm where tittle tattle is rife and someone has complained she uses public transport to get to and from site visits. Her employer has said she must start driving next year despite working during travel time.

In short is this enforceable? I couldnt find anything either way on the topic.

She is fairly certain her contract makes no mention of driving.

Thanks for all the opinions. It is a confidence thing and there is nothing in her contract. She has been there nearly 3 years or more now.

She is well aware she needs to get her st together on a personal basis but the concept of suddenly doing 60 mile round trips is not good. Essentially she is a near passing learner again in competency terms and I wouldn't send her to the corner shop never mind negotiate the great unwashed.
