I'm not sure what this is, but it's not a valid method - 

 public drive {
  lapsDriven++;
  }

The method should be of this type -

Now let's write a simple drive method. It should be public and not return anything.

There's already a similar method present in the editor - 

public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }
