well my handbrake light comes on when going round roundabouts and tight corners, i know this usualy means that the brake fluid is low but i checked it and it is fine

what else will it be?

dodgy switch or is somthing pulling on the cable when you turn... maybe exhaust. Most pobably going to be brake fluid matey, make sure its right on the max mark.

All it takes is for it to be slightly low and it will put the light on, top it up a bit and see if it still does it
