Light, wind-resistant car — human peril unlikely (9,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hurricane lamp

'light wind-resistant' is the definition.
(lamp with a flame protected from wind)

'car human peril unlikely' is the wordplay.
'unlikely' indicates an anagram.
'car'+'human'+'peril'='carhumanperil'
'carhumanperil' anagrammed gives 'HURRICANE-LAMP'.

(Other definitions for hurricane lamp that I've seen before include "Light whose flame is protected from high winds" , "Oil-fuelled light with a glass chimney for outdoor use" , "Source of illumination" , "Lantern for windy area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
