Rants about car repair
No one under any circumstances should be driving with a broken brake line, even if it is just the back brakes. A car repairman can tell you if your brake line needs to be replaced soon. How do you know if your brake line is not working correctly? Braking will take much longer than usual, and require putting your foot down hard on the brake peddle, which can potentially be a very dangerous situation. The best place for getting brakes checked is at a shop that specializes in brakes. Usually such places also perform other regular maintenance and fixes on cars such as oil changes and state inspections.
