Default Taking turns too fast = turns on the Brake light?

The other day I was driving in an underground parking garage and taking the turns slightly faster than normal. The signs said 5 mpg but I was going 12mph or so. Regardless, I realized that every time I would go 12 mph or higher, the brake light turns on (the same one that turns on when you pull up the E-brake). I never touched the brake pedal either.


What can be the cause of this? Is this something that is normal?

hmmm... so starvation might be an issue. Interesting. I will check it out this week.

Reminds me of this one time where I slid during a turn (wet surface) and my low oil light came on because of the amount of G force the car was going through.

check your brakes I had the same issue when my brakes were gone because the brake fluid went down too far.
