you will be ok driving it, as long as you remember you dont have a hand brake and leave it in gear.
i have a hand brake cable for sale that i only bought a couple of months ago if you want it.
£5 will get it to you for monday or tuesday

this happened to me in exact same circumstances lol, i just drove mine to my local garage and they had a look at it! my rear cable had snapped, the one that goes from drum to drum! they showed me the other cable that runs from rear to front and that was proper frayed too so had them both replaced! cost me 58.75 in total including parts labour and vat!
