When Mother Teresa went to heaven, she was greeted by Saint Peter with a halo for her dedication to the needy. After walking around for a while, she saw Lady Diana with a bigger halo. She got angry at Lady Diana and went to Saint Peter and asked him why she had a bigger one, and Saint Peter said, "Oh, that’s not a halo, that’s a steering wheel."
Halo or Steering Wheel

Explanation
Experiment
The joke plays on the common image of saints having halos and the idea of a larger halo representing greater holiness. The humor comes from the unexpected twist that Lady Diana's 'halo' is actually a steering wheel, implying she was a 'driver' in a figurative or literal sense, rather than a holy figure in heaven, which also plays on the car accident she died in.
