With heavy rain forecast to hit Butler County into Friday, July 21, PennDOT is reminding motorists to never drive through flooded roads and turn on their vehicle’s headlights any time their windshield wipers are being used.

PennDOT urged drivers to be alert to water on roadways, obey warning signs and traffic control devices, and never drive through flooding or standing water on roads.

Shallow flowing water can wash a car from a road, as it takes just 2 feet of fast-moving water to float a car.

Pennsylvania law requires headlights to be turned on anytime a vehicle’s wipers are needed.
