What the driver did, tied up around a road junction (7)
I believe the answer is:
motored
'what the driver did' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'tied up around a road junction' is the wordplay.
'tied up' becomes 'moored ' (I've seen this in another clue).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'a road junction' becomes 'T' (T-junction is a type of road junction).
'moored' placed around 't' is 'MOTORED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
