What happens when you drive your car after putting brake fluid in your radiator?

Might depend on HOW MUCH brake fluid you put in there, but not much.
The radiator holds quite a lot of mostly water, so a dash of brake fluid will quickly become very diluted.
But since the radiator doesn't expect brake fluid, it'd make sense to have it flushed and refilled as soon as possible.

Probably nothing other than brakes that do not work well. You need to have the brake system completely flushed and fresh brake fluid installed or it will ruin lots of expensive parts.

Is it safe to drive a car with a rear cylinder leak?
No. Get it fixed as soon as possible. When you have brake fluid leaking out of your rear cylinder, you are putting lubricant on your rear brake. That is keeping that brake from working. It is also letting brake fluid drain out of the car. Your car needs brake fluid to stop the car. If you lose a lot of brake fluid, you will put your foot on the brake pedal and it will go all the way to the floor and nothing will happen. It can be dangerous when you drive down the highway at a high rate of speed and put your foot on the brake pedal and nothing happens. When you crash your car and turn it into a piece of scrap metal, you could get hurt.

What happens when antifreeze leaks and battery light comes on?
I don't know, but I have the same problem. My radiator cracked and my battery light and brake light came on ALL at the same time! I got my new radiator today and went to crank the car to drive it to my friend's house and it wouldn't crank. Ggrrrr...I hate being a girl sometimes! == my answer == Commonly this is caused by the failure of the accessory (known as fan or alternator belt) drive belt This causes the alternator to quit working and the engine to overheat, perhaps ruining the engine.
What happens if you drive without any water in the engine?
First of all you shouldn't be using water, you should be using engine coolant. And to answer your question, your engine will over heat and you will not be able to drive. You can do damage to your cars radiator running with no coolant.
