      try{
        kart.drive(100);

You re-wrote a drive method: kart.drive(100);. We are trying kart.drive(2); so the kart.drive(100); is unnecessary and possibly confusing the grader.

This specific task asks that you print the IllegalArgumentException's message. Is there any method we can use to print the message of the exception?
