So … who is/was in the wrong lane? It’s usually the other guy. But can you imagine how from the other guy’s perspective, you are the other guy and that you are wrong?
Tortoise: "Did you forget? “East is odd and west is even odder”
.

QUOTE:““East is Odd, West is Even Odder” is a pilots mnemonic to remember what altitudes to fly at under visual and instrument flight rules. First, east and west are defined by the magnetic headings of zero to 179 degrees (East) and 180-359 degrees (West.)
Odd and even refer to the altitude. A commercial aircraft on a so-called IFR flight, i.e. all passenger planes, will cruise eastbound at so-called “odd” flight levels. That means for example at 33,000 feet (which pilots and air traffic control will refer to as FL330) or 35,000 feet (FL350) in increments of 2,000 feet. A westbound flight will cruise at even numbered flight levels—say 32,000 feet (FL320) or 34,000 feet (FL340)—again in increments of 2,000 feet.
That means that an aircraft passing under another aircraft will be separated vertically. Modern systems allow planes to pass as little as 1,000 feet above or below each other."

Good thing there is no FAA … they’d undoubtedly blame this on a hobbyist drone.

Thank Heavens there isn’t a typo in the middle frame with the letter “C” for the “N” or this may have been problematic.

Why is it that the drunk guys driving in the wrong lane and hitting someone head on are the ones who always survive unscathed?
