No the ABS light should not be on while driving. IT should only come on for a few seconds when you first turn the key on.
First thing to do is make sure your brake fluid is topped up. Second thing is to clean the wiring connector at the master cylinder. Then, providing your parking brake switch is not defective of being held on, the most likely cause of both lights staying on is a defective fluid level sensor.
