Pulled over to which side?

The coach (bus!) pulled over to the side of the road (somewhere in the UK).

Which side of the road is meant here - far or near? Does this mean the coach went and stood over, on the far side of the edge of the road, or could it also mean the coach was stopped on the near side, on the road itself within its limit?

Moreover, while you are driving, similar to when you pull out to overtake a vehicle, can you say 'pull in' when you move from an outer lane to an inner or slower lane and keep on driving? Does pulling in always involve coming to a stop?

If it doesn't say otherwise, I think you pull over to the side of the road you drive on. You would have to say which side in other cases. You stop as far to the left or right as you can, and that sometimes leaves you at least partly on the roadway. If you mean to stop the car off the roadway entirely, perhaps on the shoulder, you pull off the road.

I can only answer for American English.
