Bad weather for the motorist? (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
driving rain
'bad weather for the motorist?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'bad weather for the motorist?' is the wordplay.
'bad weather' becomes 'rain' (rain is an example of bad weather).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'the motorist?' becomes 'driving' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rain' after 'driving' is 'DRIVING RAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
