Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'Out-of-control' and 'leads to'. One of these is an anagram indicator, flagging that some neighbouring letters will need to be mixed up. The other is a selection indicator telling us which letters from some nearby fodder we should pay attention to.
- This clue's fodder is 'car' and 'something horrible'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- This clue is an &lit, meaning that the whole clue is both the wordplay and the definition. So, our answer will be something horrible that is led to by an out-of-control car. Heads up: while we have previously denoted &lits with the !? punctuation on the end, we will soon be using subtler forms of signifying this, like a single exclamation point: !
