Damage if driven?

[mateo]

I was changing the brake pads on my 93 J30 during the weekend when I was interupted with another task. I finished the left, front pads, but still have the right side to do. I don't want to drive it in this condition, but there's a chance I may have to use the car before I finish. Will I harm the braking system, etc.?

I don't think it'll damage anything. My only concern would be unequal brake performance from side to side - could make things tricky in emergency stops!

Cool. Thanks Heath. That's what I thought too. I was finally able to get the other pads on before I drove. But I had always wondered about that.
