You see a car on the hard shoulder of a motorway with a ‘help’ pennant displayed. What does this mean?

Explanation: If a disabled driver's vehicle breaks down and they're unable to walk to an emergency phone, they're advised to stay in their car and switch on the hazard warning lights. They may also display a 'help' pennant in their vehicle.
