New York Post • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The Volo Museum in Illinois received a $50 speeding ticket from New York City for a replica of the "Knight Rider" car KITT, despite the vehicle being stationary in the museum for years.
- The ticket was issued after a traffic camera recorded the car allegedly speeding through a Brooklyn school zone, using a novelty California license plate linked to the museum.
- Museum officials believe the city's system mistakenly associated the novelty plate with their display vehicle and have requested a hearing to contest the ticket.
- The replica car, built in 1991 for promotional purposes, is not one of the original screen-used KITT vehicles from the 1980s TV series.
- The New York City Department of Finance is investigating the situation following the museum's dispute.
