Motorist awaiting chance to pass? (7)
I believe the answer is:
learner
'motorist' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for learner that I've seen before include "Unqualified driver" , "He displays the L-plate" , "Amateur" , "Scholar - novice" , "who needs plates" .)
