It can wear out your rear brakes prematurely if you do it for a long distance because the emergency brake pedal/handle just applies constant pressure on the rear brakes as if you were putting your foot on the brake pedal. It also kills your gas mileage.

What happens when you drive with the parking brake on in a Ford Focus 2000?
Like any vehicle, the parking brake is intended to be a parking brake. depending on the condition of your brakes, your rear wheels may lock up or just turn with limited speed. no major damage can be done by this practice in the short term, but large amounts of driving with the parking brake engaged will wear away the lining of your brake pads.

What will happen when driving a car if you pull up the brakes?
While assuming your parking/emergency brake is properly adjusted, your car will stop. At higher speeds, say over 50 mph, your car will skid and leave rubber on the road. If you happen to turn your wheels while pulling the emergency brake then you'd do whats called a drift. Bad things can happen to your car if done at high speeds. I would not recommend doing this.

Is it bad if i drove a car for a mile or so with the emergency break on?
It's not good. However, the only real damage, is any, would be a wearing down of the emergency brake, which could cause it to work improperly. The next time you have your vehicle serviced, you should ask them to inspect the brake for damage. That probably did very little damage. It's not good, but if you are asking, the damage is probably minor. If the distance was that short and the speed not too high, you may have done nothing more than reduced the brake pad life a few 1000 miles. Thing to watch for, squeaking brakes, pulsing, pulling or uneven braking, high pedal pressure needed to make normal stops. If you have any of that, drive the car a few days and see if things return to normal. If not take it to a break shop.

What all needs to be done in 120k servicing in 97 Honda Civic?
Major service should have been done at 105,000 miles. If you have not had this service done yet, then do it ASAP. Replace the cam belt and water pump. The is an INTERFERENCE engine. If the cam belt breaks your engine will have serious and expensive damage. If you have not already done this, then you are driving on borrowed time, and the engine is ready to explode when the belt breaks. Stop driving the car until you can replace the belt. Replace spark plugs & plug wires. Drain and replace the transmission fluid. Inspect all CVC boots for damage. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks. Inspect the brake system.
