You might think that one way to make sure you never get a traffic ticket in the mail is to park your car in a museum and not let it taste the sweet freedom of the open road.
You are wrong.
Even though the car in question was a replica of KITT, the car from David Hasselhoff’s talking car classic “Knight Rider,” it turns out it didn’t work.

The Volo Museum is a car museum outside Chicago, and one of the cars on display is a replica of KITT, a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am voiced by the great William Daniels (who played Mr. Feeney in “Boy Meets World”).

A great piece for any car collection, but you can understand why the museum was confused when it received a ticket in the mail claiming that KITT was caught going 36 mph in a 25 mph zone in Brooklyn.
The car hadn’t even left the museum, let alone left the state, but according to the report, it sure had. Associated PressThe ticket came with a photo of a black Trans-Am with a California license plate that read “KNIGHT” caught on traffic cameras.

This is, of course, the same plate seen in the exhibition and the same one in the copy in the Volo Museum.
So how did a real ticket get sent to the museum that houses a replica of the car from “Knight Rider”?

Nobody seems to know. New York City hasn’t commented, and the museum is just as confused as we are.
“It’s interesting that we’re legally bound to a movie scene,” said Jim Wojdyla, Volo Museum marketing director. “We’re known for buying Hollywood cars from TV and movies, but I have no idea how we got from a ticket in New York to license plates in California to the Volo Museum in Illinois. We’re still trying to figure it out.”

Strangely, the same Trans-Am was tied to five more unpaid tickets in New York City.
The museum has requested a hearing on the criminal case and I have a feeling they will probably win.
