Struggle with reversing vehicle? Cars are destroyed here (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrapyard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cars are destroyed here' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'struggle with reversing vehicle?' is the wordplay.
'struggle with' becomes 'scrap' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'reversing' says the letters should be written backwards.
'vehicle?' becomes 'dray' (type of cart).
'dray' back-to-front is 'yard'.
'scrap'+'yard'='SCRAPYARD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrapyard that I've seen before include "Metal recycling site" , "Place for metal waste" , "Dump" , "Totter's tip" , "Place for metal refuse" .)
