Going in the Wrong Direction (Newly Edited Story)

The opposite direction is a well-known historical allusion. It tells that if your goal is in the south, then if you drive north, the faster you go, the further away from your goal you will be. However, today, after our protagonist heard a passerby tell him the direction to the south, she resolutely drove north and arrived at her destination not long after. Why is this? Can it be possible to go "in completely opposite directions"? Purpose: Before following the guidance, you must distinguish whether the guidance is true or false.
