Update the check_speed method to compare the value in the car_speed parameter to the value in the speed_limit parameter. If car_speed is greater than speed_limit, print the message "Slow down!" Otherwise, print the message "Safe travels!"
def check_speed(car_speed, speed_limit)
if(car_speed > speed_limit)
print "Slow down!"
else
print "Safe travels!"
end

If you look at the error message you get when you try and check your work, it gives away what's wrong.
syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting keyword_end
So, your method and conditional is correct, except you forgot the end
keyword to end the if statement
. Add that in and you're good to go.
Keep coding!

print "Enter name: " name = gets.chomp
if name == "Jason" puts "That's my name, too!" else puts "Hi #{name}!" end
