Long access road at house? Stop being proud? (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

drive home

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'long access' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'road at house? stop being proud?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'road' could be 'drive' (drive is a kind of road) and 'drive' is present in the answer.
'house?' could be 'home' (homing is a kind of housing) and 'home' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drive home that I've seen before include "Return journey" , "evening commute?" , "impress" , "Emphasise - return to one's abode?" , "in the evening rush hour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
