Absolutely NOT! The pulley shown looks like the belt tensioner....drive this vehicle without the belt and tensioner and the engine will burn-up. Get the vehicle towed to a shop and get this tensioner replaced. From the look of the picture, the pulley isn`t the only thing broke or damaged.
Anytime a part falls off your vehicle, do not drive the vehicle until you get it fixed.
if you are talking about the serpentine belt which drives the alternator / water pump etc, it may be falling off if it is miss-routed or if any of the pulleys are out of alignment or if the belt tensionr is not properly tightened, the tensioner is the pulley which bears on the outside of the belt (smooth side) this pulley may be gummed up and give you the impression it doesnt move clean it up loosen it off
you have belt guides near your pulleys that helps to keep the belt on during no engagement
you need to check to see if they are missing or bent and adjust as close to the pulley and belt as possible without interfereing with the belt and pulleys while engaged.IE: no rubbing against the pulley or belt while engaged or moving.
