Bit of a scare on the road (3)
I believe the answer is:
car
'road' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bit of a scare on' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'CAR' can be found hidden inside 'scare on'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for car that I've seen before include "Private transport" , "Automobile" , "Vehicle carrying vehicles" , "Railway carriage; vehicle" , "saloon perhaps" .)
