I have now switched to PF08 as I think that the better initial bite and feel is worth the extra money, but I would not hesitate to use HP+ again.

Embarrassingly, the same incident happened to me WAAAAY back in the day when I was learning to drive - but with HP+ pads - which is where my comment about HPS AND HP+ came from. They have a similar characteristics at MOT. Until that point, HP+ has higher friction than an OEM pad and bite really well. In my case I was going well over 100mph when I realized there were no brakes.
My overall point is that they are not safe. While they may perform, the fact that they just give up at the worst possible moment makes them unsafe, especially for beginners.
