How long can I dirve on a broken lug

I have 1 broken stud on my back tire. I need to drive about 150 miles on it. It's the only broken one I have will it be ok to drive on it?

fondo has a little shameless behavior in the past

Should be all right. Just make sure the other studs are tight and maybe put a little more torque on them, but not too much.

Why not replace it real quick? Takes 15 min tops.

You can drive on it until the others break off. Fix it now rather than regretting it later.
