Drive back to see film about parking (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repel

'drive back' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'film about parking' is the wordplay.
'film' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of film).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'parking' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'reel' placed around 'p' is 'REPEL'.

'to see' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for repel that I've seen before include "Drive or force back" , "Drive away like leper" , "Nauseate" , "Turn away" , "may turn your stomach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
