An Illinois museum received a speeding ticket from New York City after a traffic camera allegedly caught its replica KITTcar from the TV show Knight Rider speeding in Brooklyn.
Volo Museum said the 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am replica has not been driven on public roads for more than a decade. Marketing director Jim Wojdyla said the plate is only a novelty item sold in the museum gift shop. The traffic camera photo showed a car with the same ‘KNIGHT’ novelty plate displayed on the museum vehicle.
New York City officials later confirmed the ticket was issued by mistake and would be dismissed.
