taken for a ride

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

'fooled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for taken for a ride that I've seen before include "given spin?" , "Deceived" , "The car's passenger, on a trip" , "Swindled" , "Duped" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
