Record having passed? Not according to this (1-5)
I believe the answer is:
l-plate
'passed? not according to this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'record' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'record' could be 'lp' (abbreviation for long play record) and 'lp' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'late' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for l-plate that I've seen before include "Sign of trainee driver" , "Learner-driver's sign" , "It denotes a learner" , "Sign of a learner driver" , "Sign on learners car" .)
