An automated ticket was issued after a speed camera recorded a black Pontiac Trans Am at 36 mph in a 25 mph school zone, officials said.
- The Volo Museum in Illinois received an automated speeding ticket from New York City for a Pontiac Trans replica of KITT, the iconic car from Knight Rider, despite the vehicle never leaving its exhibit floor.
- A NYC speed camera on Ocean Parkway captured a black Pontiac Trans with a California license plate 'KNIGHT' allegedly driving 36 mph in a 25 mph zone, triggering the citation.
- Operating as both a collector car dealer and theme park, Volo has displayed this specific KITT replica for years as part of its vehicle collection.
- ABC News reports that accuracy concerns plague automated systems; over 40 percent of NYC speed camera tickets are eventually thrown out due to errors.
