Default "shop" brake light came on tonight-long trip tomorrow
So the shop brake light came on tonight. I am driving to NH from Philly tomorrow for a ski trip. Is it ok to drive for the weekend and get my brakes done next week?

You will be fine, probably a good thousand miles left when the sensors go off

Just don't brake. I would avoid NJTP and I-95.

The parking brake should get you through the week.
