stepping off
Exiting the vehicle
Stepping off is leaving a platform, curb, or surface by taking a step downward: She was stepping off the bus when it lurched forward.
In military contexts, it means beginning a march or operation—troops step off at a designated time.
Figuratively, stepping off can mean disengaging or backing away from a confrontation: You need to step off before this gets ugly.
