When you pull over, you drive your car to the side of the road and stop. It's like taking a break from driving on the main road. You might pull over to check a map, make a phone call, or let other cars pass.
Remember to always use your turn signal before pulling over. This lets other drivers know your intentions and helps prevent accidents. Stay safe on the road!
