Sheltering ewe, rattled, when this was used by driver? (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
steering wheel
'this was used by driver?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'sheltering ewe rattled' is the wordplay.
'rattled' indicates an anagram.
'sheltering'+'ewe'='shelteringewe'
'shelteringewe' anagrammed gives 'STEERING-WHEEL'.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steering wheel that I've seen before include "part of car interior" , "it changes direction" , "Car control" , "Means to turn" .)
