2008 Other Hyundai Models

f any one could help me clarify my doubt...... I drove my Car for 2 to 5 minutes with my Handbrake on (Actually had parked my car at one place properly. Then tried parking at another place with handbrakes on - for about 2 - 5 minutes). The speed of the Car should not have been more than 20 kilometers per hour. If any one could tell how much damage I must have done to

Hi:
For all the more you drove the car, chances are you didn't hurt anything. The worst thing that will happen is your rear brakes will wear out faster than normal, but because of the short distance, you really won't notice a difference.
