Trial — result of whiplash? (4,2,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pain in the neck

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'trial' is the first definition.
(both can mean a source of annoyance)

'whiplash?' is the second definition.
(whiplash may cause neck pain)

'result of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pain in the neck that I've seen before include "Really annoying person" , "Troublesome person or thing" , "Torticollis" , "Annoyance (colloq.)" , "Very tiresome person or thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
