A replica of the talking car Kitt from the 1980s US television action series Knight Rider for years has been parked in a museum about an hour’s drive north of Chicago, so how did it get a speeding ticket in New York City?

That is the question the Volo Museum is asking after it says it was recently mailed a $50 fine by New York City for a violation caught by a traffic camera, alleging that its Knight Industries Two Thousand – Kitt for short and a black Pontiac Trans Am – got busted going 9mph over the speed limit in a 25mph zone on 22 April.
