Taken for a shaky ride by car (7)
I believe the answer is:
carried
'taken' is the definition.
('carry' can be a synonym of 'take')
'shaky ride by car' is the wordplay.
'shaky' indicates an anagram.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ride' is an anagram of 'ried'.
'ried' put after 'car' is 'CARRIED'.
'for a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for carried that I've seen before include "Conveyed, toted" , "Transmitted; borne" , "Held" , "Published" , "Conveyed, transported" .)
