You've moved the try/catch block. It is now outside main
. It needs to be where the original kart.drive(42);
call is so delete the curly brace after where you've commented that out and then look into your indenting.
Steve.

57,712 PointsHi Gilbert,
Your code looks fine?! I just wrote this and it passed. Let me look into it further.
Steve.
try {
kart.drive(42);
} catch(IllegalArgumentException iae){
System.out.println(iae.getMessage());
}
