Mount a vehicle with me and a new driver (6)

I believe the answer is:

carmel

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

'a vehicle with me and a new driver' is the wordplay.
'a vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a new driver' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'car'+'me'+'l'='CARMEL'

(Another definition for carmel that I've seen is " Mount".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
