Two points entered into vehicle licence (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carnet

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

'licence' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'two points entered into vehicle' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'points' could be 'ne' (two compass points) and 'ne' is located in the answer.
'vehicle' could be 'cart' (cart is a kind of vehicle) and 'cart' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
