I believe the answer is:

yellow card

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

'caution' is the definition.
(caution given to a footballer)

'driver initially in pursuit of new york taxi?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'taxi?' could be 'car' (taxi is a kind of car) and 'car' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yellow card that I've seen before include "Warning to footballers" , "Warning to footballer" , "With which a referee cautions player" , "Footballer's caution" , "Warning leading to temporary dismissal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
