Drives miles away to get parking (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impels

'drives' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'miles away to get parking' is the wordplay.
'away' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move away from their original places).
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'parking' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'miles' anagrammed gives 'imels'.
'imels' going around 'p' is 'IMPELS'.

(Other definitions for impels that I've seen before include "Drives on in simple way" , "Forces, urges to action" , "Urges forward" , "Drives or forces" , "Spurs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
