Crush? Go faster, avoiding it (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

step on

'crush?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'go faster avoiding it' is the wordplay.
'go faster' becomes 'steponit' (I've seen this before).
'avoiding' is a deletion indicator.
'steponit' with 'it' removed is 'STEP ON'.

(Other definitions for step on that I've seen before include "Behave harshly towards" , "crush" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
