Do they stop cars in record time? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
disc brakes
'do they stop cars' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'record time?' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'time?' becomes 'brakes' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'disc'+'brakes'='DISC BRAKES'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Irish News and The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
