Magistrate with money giving ride to daughter in car (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dodgem

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

'magistrate with money giving ride to daughter' is the wordplay.
'magistrate' becomes 'doge' (doge is a kind of magistrate).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'money' becomes 'm' (abbreviation in economics).
'giving ride to' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are 'picked up' or given a ride).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'doge'+'m'='dogem'
'dogem' placed around 'd' is 'DODGEM'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dodgem that I've seen before include "Car used in fairground" , "Small car at funfair for bumping into others" , "Electric car" , "ride - with 14a" , "Fairground amusement vehicle" .)
