Drive a mile, maybe, round the capital of Poland (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impel

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

'a mile maybe round the capital of poland' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'the capital of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'poland' is 'p'.
'mile' anagrammed gives 'imel'.
'imel' placed around 'p' is 'IMPEL'.

(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Egg" , "Force to act" , "Urge forward - push" , "Urge or drive to do something" , "Cause to move forward" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
