In the UK we drive on the left, using right-hand drive cars.
So in the UK we would say "Good drivers don't overtake ON the left" because all overtaking should be done on the right, using the overtaking lane if there is one.
On most motorways in the UK there are three lanes, plus a hard shoulder for emergencies. If your car breaks down, you should pull over to your left and stop.
