Come to steer clear of bend, another time on the street (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
turn against
'come to steer clear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'of bend another time on the street' is the wordplay.
'of bend' becomes 'turn' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'another time' becomes 'again' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'the street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'turn'+'again'+'st'='TURN AGAINST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for turn against that I've seen is " to go off".)
