OH I agree!  When you don't know.....be SAFE!

But a 5 min  check would've allowed you to drive on!

1  Back car to safe area...

2   Feel  backing plate to see which one is HOT [ drum will burn!]

3   Jack up  / remove wheel drum...INSPECT!

4    Bleed  Wheel Cylinder....no need for adding fluid...WC  only holds 2 
oz..

5     Replace drum /  wheel /  unjack...

6    Drive on, if no parts fell off!  ggg

Note:   This is similar to Cecil Mills  ordeal last weekend.....LOOK .... use 
your head... if OK...drive on

This will hopefully be your last "glitch".......but be ready!  LOL!
