Sort of driver possibly ordered to take cabs? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

backseat

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

'sort of driver' is the definition.
'backseat' can be an answer for 'driver' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'sort of' bit.

'ordered to take cabs?' is the wordplay.
'take cabs' can be anagrammed to 'BACKSEAT'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'possibly' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for backseat that I've seen before include "Secondary or inferior status" , "driving position - that's critical" .)
