Dangerous driver, crazy, circling right round (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
mr toad
'dangerous driver' is the definition.
(character from 'The Wind in the Willows')
'crazy circling right round' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'mad' (synonyms).
'circling' is an insertion indicator (circling can mean going around or containing).
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'rt'+'o'='rto'
'mad' going around 'rto' is 'MR TOAD'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
