Steer right into seedy bar (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drive

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

'right into seedy bar' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'seedy bar' becomes 'dive' (as in a dive bar).
'r' put into 'dive' is 'DRIVE'.

(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "Impel; house approach" , "Energy < tax" , "spin" , "required for excursion" , "Motivation, energy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
