Take out the hand brake and replace it
Your problem very well could be the hazard switch. i have a 1994 honda civic too i found whenever i disconnected the hazard switch from the wiring harness my turn signals brake lights and of course hazards do not work. Maybe replace the hazard switch..
you ask it to stop
if you mean: "why do hazard lights flash when brakes are on", then the answer is because vehicles are equipped with a hazard light relay that supercedes the brake lights. This way, slow moving vehicles can operate under hazard lighting.
To adjust the hand brake on a Matiz, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and securely parked. Locate the hand brake adjustment nut under the center console or near the hand brake lever. Turn the nut clockwise to tighten the brake or counterclockwise to loosen it until you achieve the desired tension, where the hand brake engages securely within a few clicks. Finally, test the hand brake to ensure it holds the vehicle in place before driving.
Well to brake your hand you should bend it back until it cracks or cut your serculation

Hand brake sticking? Probably bad brake cables. Replacement is necessary.
