Default The worst...
you could do is "warp" a rotor. You can drive on them quite a while. I suppose that eventually, it will tear itself apart, then you could have real problems, but before that happens it will become MUCH worse.

Seems like I might have a bad rear wheel bearing. Is this really bad to drive on?
