Quick way to reverse vehicles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smart

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

'quick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reverse vehicles' is the wordplay.
'reverse' says the letters should be written backwards.
'vehicles' becomes 'trams' (tram is a kind of vehicle).
'trams' reversed gives 'SMART'.

'way to' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for smart that I've seen before include "Bright or dapper" , "Chic; sting" , "Upmarket" , "astute" , "it hurts!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
