Now that you mention the Hand brake alarm, I don't remember hearing one nor even seeing a light.

Maybe it's just my old age.

You can't drive something with it, as it will drag the signal down. You could use a transistor to drive the buzzer off of the speed signal, since the signal sits at ground when the car is not moving and pulses at a fairly high frequency when the car is is motion.
