Driving with 1 broken brake line? Sign In
Is it very dangerous to drive with one broken brake line?

Its my left rear brake line. Once brake fluid is added to reservoir after pressure is applied to the brake it all leaks out of this line.

Driving with this problem until I can get it fixed, is very dangerous?

Also, does the e-brake still work fine just in case of emergency, or is this problem needed to be solved asap before I drive?

Thanks

That's a pretty foolish question. If you kill someone on the highway, you can ask the jail guard that question. Don't think that parking brake is going to stop you either.

Getting the brakes fixed before driving again will get you an automatic upgrade to SMART.
