Any ideas why this is happening (Yes i've taken the handbrake off!!!)

Low brake fluid? brake pads need changing?

Any help appreciated!

Mine was on, but I took it to someone before my MOT, he serviced the car and fixed the handbrake light - said it was an easy job.

Could be: Break fluid, handbrake switch etc...
