Often, especially in the situation you describe, the engine will be left running and the driver will stay seated. In your situation the driver must be prepared to stop in case the conversation takes more than a second. Pulls in to the kerb might be possible, or perhaps crawls along next to the kerb. | |

Just may I ask you if "pulling over" means to move the car to the side of a road (and stop) while in my case, the driver just gets close to you with very low speed to hear your destination name from you. Don't you think neither "pull over", "turn close" nor "turn toward" work here and I have to use verbs like "approach" or just "get close" here? | |
