DO NOT OVERTAKE ON THE LEFT.
17 Before pulling out to your right into a traffic lane carrying faster moving traffic, watch out for and GIVE WAY TO TRAFFIC IN LANES TO YOUR RIGHT. USE YOUR MIRROR to make sure that the lane you will be joining is clear for a long distance behind, and bear in mind that an overtaking vehicle may be travelling much faster than you are. Give a clear signal of your intention WELL BEFORE you change from one lane to another.

Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation and the Central Office of Information The Motorway Code — Leaving the Motorway (1958)

Leaving the Motorway
32 If you are not travelling to the end of the motorway, watch for the signs warning you of your point of exit; the first sign will be one mile in advance of the slip road to your left, the second half a mile in advance and a third at the exit.
33 To leave a motorway at one of the intermediate exit points, get into the left-hand lane in good time, stay in it, and give a left-turn signal well before you reach the slip road.
34 Reduce speed as necessary in the deceleration lane on the approach to the slip road and not on the motorway itself.
