A careful driver is one who honks his horn when he goes through a red light.

Meaning of the quote

The quote suggests that a "careful" driver is someone who draws attention to themselves by honking their horn, even when they are breaking the law by driving through a red light. This is clearly contradictory, as a truly careful driver would obey traffic signals and drive safely, rather than drawing attention to their reckless behavior.
