Skoda octavia vRS 230 aquaplaning.
The Octavia vRS 230 hit a highway water puddle at highway speeds and fishtailed like crazy. Some very good reactions with the steering wheel made the car move away from hitting the median and overturning. There is an overturned taxi too on the divider that you can see in the video at the same spot.

That was a seriously close escape !! brilliant SKODA !! once again !!
It happened to me at 80km/h with the VRS, I think if the puddle is that big, you have to be lucky until tires get grip again
water logged. This must be stage 1 tuned i suspect
Does anyone understands what happened there?

Look at the car in the front which skidded on water.
Luck indeed. Engineering can handle law of physics only to some extend. Be sane, that's a very very fast driving on the wet roads.
@0:14 another white car got flipped over in the central meridian possibly also by hydroplaning

yes. The passengers from that accident had exited the car and were still standing on the median. A lot of things could have gone wong if another vehicle had aquaplaned and struck the median. Thankfully, nothing else happened. A good lesson nevertheless!
What did you capture this footage with? Dashcam? Which one?

Scary stuff. ESC seems to be off? I can't imagine so much fishtailing on a straight road.

close call indeed. There was so much water there. The steering action pulled the car along in the intended direction with the electronic aids, helped in no small measure by a fat slice of lady luck :-)

Tuned?
