Driving a car with a bad alternator is not advisable. The alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the electrical systems while the engine runs. If it fails, the battery will eventually drain, leading to loss of power and potential engine shutdown. It’s best to address the issue promptly to avoid being stranded or causing further damage to the vehicle.
