What you're saying is logical but is the opposite way to how it actually works, at least in the UK but I believe elsewhere as well

In Australia and the UK you drive on the left normally (the outside lane), and overtake on the right (the inside lane). In America that would be drive on the right (outside lane) and overtake on the left (inside lane).

I live in the UK and can tell you conclusively that is not correct.

I agree that's how it should work, but that isn't how it works, at least in this country.

I'm talking specifically about your use of inside vs outside lane

Oh I see. So you would say the inside lane is the one furthest from the centre of the road?

Yes, and it's stupid.
