Does that mean it has two meanings, depending on the context?

Here is the sentence I've found;
The car pulled of and sped up the road.

I think it should read:

The car pulled out/away and sped up the road.

"Pull over" is also used.

The police pulled him over. (It means to be forced to drive to the side of the road and stop.)

He had a flat tire, so he pulled over safely to change it.
