As soon as i pull off in my car after first starting up and taking the handbrake off the handbrake light comes on, i have noticed a lot of brake dust build up on the rear alloy (driver side) after most journeys 10 miles+, is the handbrake rubbing maybe? there isn't any noise

this gets covered most weeks, take the console from round the handbrake and there will be a switch under there check that is all plugged in

The light flashes when the pads are low as well... Also check them.
