Vehicle ride - awful bore (7)
I believe the answer is:
carried
'bore' is the definition.
('carry' can be a synonym of 'bear')
'vehicle ride awful' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'awful' is an anagram indicator.
'ride' is an anagram of 'ried'.
'car'+'ried'='CARRIED'
(Other definitions for carried that I've seen before include "Conveyed, transported" , "Transmitted; borne" , "Published" , "Held" , "passed by majority" .)
