Sam ~ There are equivalent. Here are a couple of sentences:
<ol><li>He needed to pull over in order to answer his cell phone.</li><li>He needed to pull off to fix the damaged right rear tire.</li></ol>In both sentences, he is pulling over/off in order to do something, and the fact that he is driving is assumed by the rest of the sentence. It's not necessary to specify "pull over the car" or "pull the car off the road," in the sentences above, but it is necessary if that's the point of the sentence, for example:
<ol><li>It was past time for him to pull over the car.</li><li>It was past time for him to pull the car off the road.</li></ol>18 agosto 2020

Pull off means succeeding at something. While, pull over means stop.
