Your brakes could fail, depending on the severity of the problem. Should get it check out asap, brakes and tires are the most important things, and problems shouldn't be taken lightly. I had an experience when this happened, was test driving a car that the customer said brake light was on, fluid a little low, test drove and the master cylinder gave out and almost couldn't stop the car, had to downshift and use the e-brake to avoid an accident.

If your brake warning light is on, and for reasons that you are not aware of, you should NOT be driving this vehicle.

And if the car is equipped with traction control/anti-lock brakes, the system is a lot more sophisticated, and near impossible for the home mechanic to work on anymore.
