I'n no expert but i would say your brake fluid is low, and when you go round corners and it sloshes about, it reads the level as too low and the warning light comes on.

is it the brake fluid warning light or the hand brake light? if it's the handbrake light i wouldn't have thought it would be due to low brake fluid as hand brakes are normally cable operated. The switch for the panel light is generally just below the handle, take the cover off and have a fiddle to see if it's a lose cable at that end.

It deffinitley your brake pads, this has happend to me twice now, check your passeger side pads, there is a sensor on it, this area wares down reall quick, so they need replacing asap, i left it for a bit an ended up with new disc.

Its your brake fluid level BUT whatever you do don't top it up just yet. Its low for 1 of 2 reasons:
1) there is a leak somewhere
2) your front pads are starting to get a bit thin and thus the pistons have moved out to compensate using up your fluid.
I'd say its time to get your brake system health checked.
