I'm sure this track is shown on Ordnance Survey maps and plans. OpenStreetMap is no different we try & show what is observable. We do not censor the data except in cases where we may required to do so by laws (e.g., military areas). So I and others DO NOT accept your statement that it "should not be shown on maps"
No doubt this driveway is obvious both on aerial imagery and when passing on the public road. The likelihood is that someone will add it back at some stage.
What we do recommend in these circumstances is to add access=private which should be obeyed by routers and shows up on the OSM website with pale red dashes.

It's not obvious when driving past on the public road as it looks like a farmers track to fields and not a driveway or road. It should not be shown on the maps.

If it 'looks like a farmers track to fields' then it is visible and should be mapped and tagged as access=private. As it appears on OS maps is there any point hiding it on OSM?

I have reverted this, changed it to a track and added access=private to indicate that it is not a right of way so will not be used by routers or map users.
That way it will not be incorrectly replaced as a right of way and is useful a navigational point.
