I'm not a motorist, but the password is in a shape that is often seen on the surfaces of roads - mostly motorways - and also one that Legolas would probably be well-acquainted with.
"Elvish jewel precedes unseen rays or spirit?"
One of those clues that also has a Tolkien element as one of the parts that make up the main answer (the main answer being another Tolkieneque thing), MIR meaning jewel in elvish.
Ahhhh - was being a plank and about to ask about unseen rays, but it's UV for ultra-violet, isn't it? And then 'or.'
Ivriniel, there is also the 'Cryptic Clues' thread, which is the same as this one except that it's just one clue at a time, with no password to find. One clue at a time might sound easier - solve it and then it's your go - but it isn't always, because if you simply can't solve the clue, you can't get the initial letter to solve it, whereas with the Password, you've more chance of guessing at least one of the clues (and the password usually just reads down the first letters of each clue).
Check it out, because Mithalwen has just guessed my last clue, so will probably be posting a new one quite soon.
