Lorries with punctures running over screw (8)
I believe the answer is:
flatbeds
'lorries' is the definition.
(flatbed is a type of lorry)
'punctures running over screw' is the wordplay.
'punctures running' becomes 'flats' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over' indicates putting letters inside.
'screw' becomes 'bed' (synonyms).
'flats' enclosing 'bed' is 'FLATBEDS'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
