King careless concerning warning device (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

klaxon

'warning device' is the definition.
(klaxon is a kind of warning device)

'king careless concerning' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'k'.
'careless' becomes 'lax' ('lax' can be a synonym of 'careless').
'concerning' becomes 'on'.
'k'+'lax'+'on'='KLAXON'

(Other definitions for klaxon that I've seen before include "Old car horn" , "source of warning" , "warning device" , "Blaring horn" , "Warning hooter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
