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' anagrams to 'BACKSEAT'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'possibly' is the 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" .)
