Warning lights flash on when I brake in my 307?

When I brake the warning light for ESP comes on followed by the ABS light. When I turn off the ignition and restart the car the lights go out until I brake again. I have had the brake linings checked and have been told they are OK. Is the car dangerous to drive in this condition?

It may require a diagnostic check to identify the problem(ie fault code).

Other than that we would suggest that the brake light switch is checked.
This fault is quite common on this car but the fault can be a number of things.
Would consider the car okay to drive at present.
