Drive to find parking within mile roughly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impel

'drive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'parking within mile roughly' is the wordplay.
'parking' becomes 'p'.
'within' indicates putting letters inside.
'roughly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mile' is an anagram of 'imel'.
'p' put inside 'imel' is 'IMPEL'.

'to find' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Make" , "'Drive, force (5)'" , "Motivate" , "Egg" , "Constrain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
