Does drivers/passenger side work when you don't know if you are speaking with British or American people?

It could, "the car got t-boned on the drivers side of the vehicle."

You would ask if the driver was alright, passenger side you may state "oh thank goodness (insert significant other name here) wasn't with them.

... better wording recommended, that may sound like you didn't care about the driver
