I would say indefinitely. It's not safe for obvious reasons, but your car won't spontaneously explode if it isn't fixed. Depending on the year and type of car you drive, it may throw up a "problem" or check engine light. Not a major problem in itself, but if there is a REAL problem, you may not know about it until service time or something happens.
