The e break stops the wheels from turning so it doesn’t roll downhill. So how are you able to drive with it on.

You should not be able to drive with it on, but often the amount of braking force it provides is not enough to overcome the torque from the engine. If you drive with the e-brake on, you will either lock up your rear wheels and shred the tires or you will overheat the brakes and severely damage them.
