Can you drive a car when the alternator is broken?

It is not advisable to drive a car with a broken alternator. The alternator is responsible for recharging the car's battery while the engine is running. Without a functioning alternator, the battery will eventually lose its charge and the car will stall. Additionally, a broken alternator can cause other electrical problems in the car, such as the headlights or turn signals not working. If you suspect that your alternator is broken, it is best to have it checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible.
