Default drove with parking break on

Hi everyone. I have a 95 Honda Civic and last night i drove for about a mile or two with the parking break on. Does anyone know if there was any damage done?? do i need to get it in to be looked at to make sure its okay. after i took the brake off it seemed to run fine again. any advice would help..

unless you where sliding tires it shouldnt be much more than worn pad points on the Ebrake spot.......
as long as your pads look good ya should be fine.

Could you smell it burnin up? They are more than likely glazed over.
Soon to be just fine. Check the adjustment on the rears, and carry on!

they should be ok, but chances are u may have unevenly worn the drums and/or shoes. not the big of a deal if u still have some good life on the shoes but it will wear them out a little faster than normal.
