Plan for leaving tyre gets taxi damaged (4,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exit strategy

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

'plan for' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tyre gets taxi damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'tyre'+'gets'+'taxi'='tyregetstaxi'
'tyregetstaxi' anagrammed gives 'EXIT STRATEGY'.

'leaving' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exit strategy that I've seen before include "Plan to go" , "Withdrawal plan" , "Plan to get out!" , "Plan for future disengagement from a commitment" .)
