You are missing a end statement. Your code contains a function and an if statement, both of those need to be terminated by a end statement, but there is only one present in the code. If you add another end to the code like this:

def check_speed(car_speed, speed_limit)

  if car_speed > speed_limit
    puts "Slow down!"
  else
    puts "Safe travels!"
  end # This marks the end of the if statement
end # This marks the end of the function

Then your code will work.
