Second child likely to cause an accident? (6)
I believe the answer is:
skiddy
'likely to cause an accident?' is the definition.
(causing skidding)
'second child' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'child' becomes 'kiddy' (kiddy is a kind of child).
's'+'kiddy'='SKIDDY'
(Other definitions for skiddy that I've seen before include "Slippery" , "having little traction" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
