It’s a mystery on the streets of New York City. What traffic law violator with unpaid fines is driving a black Pontiac Trans Am that looks like the talking computer from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider, and even has the same license plate? Officials at the Volo Museum near Chicago would like to know the answer to that question. That’s because the replica of the show’s Trans Am hasn’t moved from its exhibit in years. Still, it recently received a $50 traffic ticket in the Big Apple for allegedly going 36 mph in a 25 mph zone in Brooklyn. The ticket came complete with traffic camera photos showing the car with the California license plate KNIGHT, the same plate as the car on the show and the novelty one on the museum’s unregistered car. The license plate is also connected to five other unpaid traffic violations in New York City since 2024. How the city linked the plate to the museum was not immediately clear.
