JAN KOPECKÝ ADVISES
HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY
IN WINTERTIME
In rain or snow, driving in
winter requires great care.
It can become dangerous at
temperatures around freezing
because the conditions on
the road can change quickly.
In this interview, Czech rally
professional Jan Kopecký,
The firm that started out in
1895 as the SLAVIA bicycle
manufacturer was always
renowned for its clever ideas,
and that is still true to this
day. Three years after its
establishment, it became the
first motorcycle manufacturer
in Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In 1902, the brand fitted
a motorcycle with a V-twin
engine, a world first. In 1907,
LAURIN & KLEMENT became
one of the first carmakers in
the world to produce an eightcylinder engine. Innovations
continued after merging with
Pilsen-based ŠKODA in 1925.
The product portfolio before
WWII featured models such
as the POPULAR, RAPID,
FAVORIT and SUPERB. Postwar era included the first
OCTAVIA or the FELICIA
convertible.
ŠKODA works driver and
the 2018 WRC2 world
champion gives valuable tips
on how drivers can recognise
treacherous road conditions
early on and keep their
ŠKODA under control even in
challenging situations.
