Vehicles with a bend to the left at the sides (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sledges

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vehicles' is the definition.
(sledge is a kind of vehicle)

'a bend to the left at the sides' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'sides' could be 'edges' (edge is a kind of side) and 'edges' is located in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sledges that I've seen before include "Snow carts" , "Sleighs; hammers" , "insults" , "More than one big hitter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
