Jordan says this when driving. She means that it's okay for her to be a reckless driver, because as long as nobody else does anything that could cause an accident, nothing bad will happen. If you've read the book you can clearly see how this quote becomes ironical, but if I were you i would not read the book cuz it is a terrible book. Thank you for your time.

Where did the title The Great Gatsby come from?
The title of the book "The Great Gatsby" comes from the character Nick Caraway in the story and is in reference to the character 'Jay Gatsby'. Jay Gatsby is 'great' because he manages to live a life of happiness and optimism simply by convincing himself that life is full of hope and goodness and by ignoring the corruption and darkness in the world around him. This makes him great because few people are able to ignore the bad things in life and focus only the good. F. Scott Fitzgerald meant to make the title ironic because although Gasby is great he is also fake and impossible. The character called 'Jay Gatz' changed his name to 'Jay Gatsby' in order to make himself the perfect persona for the woman he loved (Daisy). When he changed his name he made himself from being an ordinary person into this almost super-human bundle of optimism and hope who strives for perfection in everything. Because of this he started to believe his own lies and couldn't invision a way that Daisy would be able to reject him (to the extent that he blanks out the fact that she's married!). Ultimately this means that when Daisy does reject him the character of 'Jay Gatsby' falls apart and only Jay Gatz is left. He then symbolically dies to show that after the creation of 'Jay Gatsby', 'Jay Gatz' can no longer survive in the real world. Long story short, it's called "The Great Gatsby" because Gatsby is great. Gatsby is great because he is larger than life in his optimism. This is ironic because it is this optimism that ultimately kills him.
