Drove badly, I figure, and went too far (7)
I believe the answer is:
overdid
'went too far' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drove badly i figure' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'i figure' becomes 'id' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'drove' anagrammed gives 'overd'.
'overd'+'id'='OVERDID'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overdid that I've seen before include "Made too much of" , "went too far" , "operated excessively" , "Exaggerated" .)
