To sign “Careful”, Using your two hands into “K” or “V” handshapes as you using your dominant hand on the top of your non-dominant hand to moving together in a circular movement. Making your facial expression look like you are careful to carry “fragile” objects or sneaking at the night while everyone’s sleeping.
Sign "careful" by stacking your "K" hands and making the circular motion, accompanied by a serious, cautionary facial expression to emphasize the warning about the wet floor.
Use the "careful" sign with your dominant "K" hand over the non-dominant, moving in a circle. Your face should look focused, mimicking the feeling of holding something highly fragile.
After signing "drive," transition into the "careful" sign. Make sure both hands keep the "K" shape stacked together in a steady circular motion to show the ongoing need for caution.

Both are acceptable and widely understood! The 'K' handshape (with the thumb resting between the index and middle fingers) is the most traditional, but many signers naturally relax this into a 'V' handshape. Just ensure your dominant hand stays on top.
Generally, the hands move forward, out, down, and back towards you in a continuous circle, similar to the motion of pedaling a bicycle with your hands. The hands should move together as a single unit.
'Careless' is a completely different sign. While 'careful' uses stacked 'K' hands in a deliberate circle, 'careless' typically uses a 'V' handshape passing back and forth in front of the face or forehead, accompanied by a dismissive or relaxed facial expression.
