Default safe to drive with blown motor mount?

Simple question, is it safe? I have a friend with one on the side blown. Not the tranny mount.

I have a feeling I have more than one mount busted. Everytime I switch from reverse to first I can feel the motor shift towards the back of the car and hit something. Ive been driving this car for 3 years.

it is indeed half way safe IMO, ive got a rear tbracket issue wrong and i've been driving it 500+ miles from indy to ga and all that happens is the motor tbracket hits my block or my firewall, but get it fixed asap because little problems can and more then likely will lead to bigger problems hope this helps

If it was one mount it would only clunk when u let off/ get on it... Be carefull when you hit it for you do NOT want to crack the firewall..Its alot cheaper to swap a mount out then to replace your shell...

It'll be fine, I drove with one for a year, and didn't know until my Honda Mechanic pointed it out.

it's best to just get it fixed before you start breaking more stuff and the rest of your mounts.
