Drove With Hand Brake Up by CORDROSS(op): 11:59am On Aug 26, 2015

Can someone in the house advise me, I drove my cute ride from Amuwo to Ikoyi with my hand brake.

Please can It cause any damage to my brake or engine or the brakepad?

if for instance ur car's back brake is d drum type d back tires are bound to halt in motion which in turn will cause friction between d tarmac and ur tire
y i sed dis is cause i had a similar incident wit a honda accord
i forgot to disengage d handbrake and drove considerable distance before i noticed and i saw skid marks on d road which were from my car
dis is not to say ur car too will suffer d same fate sha grin

u will notice problem with your brakes more than tires. Brakes will wear faster than necessary. Be prepared to change brakes soon.

u will be fine. just don't do it again.

As a matter of fact, had the brakes been in tip top shape, you won't be able to move at all. sounds like your brake is going out anyways

It has no serious effects but the handbrake may not be as effective as it used to be.
