Anyone know why? Someone said it was a indication that the brake fluid is low, is that right?

right so....your fluid is high because your breaks are not on, when you are driving you are about to go round a corner so you break, this means the pads push in, your fluid gets lower so as you go yound the corner your fluid hasn't come back up so it reads low. So it more then likely is your break pads and/or disks. Get them checked, it won't do any harm.

That exact thing happened to my mate with his light coming on when he went round corners. He took it to the garage and it was low fluid

also - just incase it aint the fluid - could be a dodge handbrake lever switch 
but more likely fluid, just fill it up to the brim
