The Skoda Octavia 2 is one of the most popular cars in many parts of Europe, with the vehicle being a reasonable choice for family buyers and not only. The 2.0-liter TDI diesel and the 1.6 MPI petrol are one of the most popular engines in the Octavia range, with many customers opting for them.
OK, we’ll get to the point: the adjacent clip shows us what happens when an Octavia II 1.6 MPI with no ESP is driven in an inappropriate manner on an icy road. The driver overtakes multiple cars and when he wants to get back on his lane, steers a bit too violently and brakes at the same time.
The person behind the wheel countersteers but it’s too late - vehicle start swinging, with an unbelievable near miss coming up next. The the ABS prevents the driver from stopping the car, which ends up in a ditch on the side of the road, suffering far less damage than that which would’ve resulted from the aforementioned potential crash.
