T,
It isn't bad to drive with a faulty EGR, but it would be better to have a functioning one. You're not going to cause any engine damage.
The tree-huggers will tell you that you're spewing more nitrous oxides (which you are) but the rest of us will remimnd you that you're probably running hotter combustion chambers, and that the ECM will be retarding spark to compensate, which can mean less power for you. Eventually, you should look into repairing it.
