Manoeuvre always on the road (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steer

'manoeuvre' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'always on the road' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'eer' (poetic way of saying ever).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the road' becomes 'st'.
'eer' after 'st' is 'STEER'.

(Other definitions for steer that I've seen before include "The animal to direct" , "Control movement" , "Guide; bullock" , "Direct; bullock" , "farm animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
