Yes, this sounds stupid... and it is... so a friend of mine was sitting next to me while i was driving and he "accidently" pulled my hand brake @ a stop light... about 2-3 notches not full way...

and i didn't notice and drove for about 3-4 km before noticing the sudden lack of speed....

wut are the possible damages this can cause... :S
sigh

thanks

 

you wear down your rear brakes?

 

shouldnt be a problem if you dont do it regularly

 

you should be ok, worst thing would be is you just wore out the pads

 

ok good... =)

 

Thats not too bad.. I wouldn't get up to highway speeds or anything for long distance. It could overheat your brakes in the back.

 

i did that with my brother's lancer accross town, didnt affect anything.

 

Its like a semi truck on the highway with a locked up brake. The caliper/drum will get so hot at those high speeds after some time that they will just fuse together. Your fine though if it was only for a little bit at lower speeds.
