Volo<\/a> Museum staff members are scratching their heads over how the iconic car from the hit 1980s TV show \u201cKnight Rider,\u201d on display in their museum, was caught on camera speeding in New York City. <\/p>\n

Museum owners received the speeding citation in the mail from a New York City traffic camera, accusing the famous talking car KITT of speeding 11 mph over the speed limit through a school zone in Brooklyn. The citation included photographs of the vehicle, a $50 fine and a matching online violation record on New York City\u2019s official violations website.<\/p>\n

The mysterious part is that the KITT vehicle, owned by Volo Museum, has remained on display there for more than a decade. The ticket shows a traffic camera image of the car displaying the TV prop California license plate \u201cKNIGHT,\u201d which was \u201cnever intended to be a real registered license plate,\u201d museum marketing director Jim Wojdyla said in a news release. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe honestly thought it was a joke at first,\u201d Wojdyla said in the release. \u201cThen we checked the violation on the official New York City website, and it\u2019s legit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of paying the fine, the museum is formally requesting a hearing. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe fine is only $50,\u201d museum Director Brian Grams said in the release. \u201cBut we decided to request a hearing partly for clarification and partly because the entire situation is too bizarre not to pursue answers.\u201d<\/p>\n

After posting the ticket online, the story \u201cexploded,\u201d attracting more than 1.5 million interactions in one day, according to the release. <\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine there are many KITT cars driving around the streets, so I\u2019m very curious who that vehicle belongs to,\u201d Wojdyla said in the release. \u201cI heard there may be a Knight Rider reboot coming out soon, so maybe David Hasselhoff is fighting bad guys again. If he is, he owes us 50 bucks.\u201d<\/p>\n
