The famous TV car KITT from Knight Rider received a $50 speeding ticket in New York City, despite being parked in a museum 900 miles away. KITT, the star Pontiac Trans-Am from the show Knight Rider, is known for its many abilities. It can stop bullets, it can jump in the air, it can shoot flames at enemies, it can reach impressive speeds of up to 300 mph, and, of course, it can talk.
However, one thing it apparently cannot do is avoid a New York City speed camera. According to a report by CBS News, KITT received a $50 ticket from the New York City Department of Finance for speeding in a school zone at 11 mph over the limit.

To prove that KITT didn't sneak out for a late-night run to the Big Apple, the museum sent a time-stamped screenshot from their security camera to the New York City Department of Finance. It showed the car sitting in the museum at the exact time it was accused of speeding through a school zone about 900 miles away.
It is believed that the New York City speed camera system confused the novelty license plate installed on the car they caught on camera with the car in the museum. A spokesperson for the New York City Department of Finance said in a statement that the group is looking into the matter.
