You can lever it away but it will come back. It's most likely the worn pad indicator that's built-in. Eventually you'll get a terrible screeching every time you press the brake pedal.

Stuff your bl**dy nails woman! When it comes to the brakes on a car (especially a fast one!), I would like to think that most people realise how important they are. 
Do you tell everyone who gets in your car, ' The brakes sound a bit dodgy, but i'm sure they'll be alright!'????
Come on scoobybabe, don't live up to the 'I'm a woman and don't know jack' reputation!
