Drove out near semi-arid parts and went too far (7)
I believe the answer is:
overdid
'went too far' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drove out near semi-arid parts' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'near semi arid parts' becomes 'id' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'drove' is an anagram of '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 "Exaggerated" , "Made too much of" , "operated excessively" , "went too far" .)
