GSC 3. Cruise vehicle in unsafe traffic (5,8)
I know that this is RISKY BUSINESS, but while I like the surface, if I'm reading it right as a double def (or charade), (UNSAFE = RISKY/TRAFFIC = BUSINESS), I think it's too plain. From me to you dawg, it's just all right.

Thanks for the feedback on my last ones. I know the charade for RISKY BUSINESS is a little plain – I had a really odd anagram for it before and in the end decided to let the clue stand on the misdirection. As for SPECIALISTS, I discovered this one while reading a news article about spam filters gone wrong, so I can't take all the credit.  In any case, a couple of teasers from my latest: IS 1. Still declining things I don't want (15) IS 2. Who cares about me being pretty? (8) _________________

Crossers. The #'s represent where these two solutions cross, so solving one will help you solve the other.
IS 1. Still declining things I don't want (15)
--> N _ _ _ _ _ # _ T _ N _ I _ G <--
Interested in hearing your opinions on the indicator.
IS 2. Who cares about me being pretty? (8)
--> _ O _ E _ # _ T <--
