Couldn't understand the question

I could not understand what should i do for a new drive method. What is "pass it a 1"?

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  private int lapsDriven;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }
  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }

  public void drive() {
    lapsDriven++;
    barCount--;
  }
  public void drive(int laps){
    lapsDriven += laps;
    barCount -= laps;
  }

  public void drive(){
    drive(laps++); 
  }
}

Everything looks great. The only problem you have is in the 

public void drive(){
drive(laps++);
}

This should be, just as u said only be a 1 instead

public void drive(){
drive(1);
}
