Parking Brake

How bad is it if you drive with the parking brake on? I have done it 2 times for about a mile. Is this something to worry about? Thanks for your help.

It can wear one of your rear brakes down, maybe cause some hotspots in the rotor.

Take is to a local shop and ask for brake check... it should be free.
