Regulation of manoeuvring done in car (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordinance

'regulation' is the definition.
('ordinance' can be a synonym of 'regulation')

'manoeuvring done in car' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvring' indicates anagramming the letters.
'done'+'in'+'car'='doneincar'
'doneincar' anagrammed gives 'ORDINANCE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for ordinance that I've seen before include "Canon" , "Edict, order" , "Authoritative decree" , "Regulation" , "religious service maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
