You shouldn't have to worry about the rear coming around under breaking if
the rear brakes aren't working. The only reason the rear would come around
is if the wheels locked up and lost traction. Only when they lose forward
traction will they have no traction left for side forces.
I would guess that if you google "traction circle" somebody could explain it
better than I have room to here.

Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Help - Seemingly Incurable Brake Fade
I think it's a good idea to have all the brakes working, but during my
starving musician days I went without rear brakes for several months and it
was no big deal. I just didn't drive fast. I also went a couple of months
with rear brakes only, and I drove very slowly.
I guess my point is that it's not a really good solution, but it won't make
the car spin around unless you drive fast and stupid. If that's the case,
you need more than just brakes.
