do ppl naturally lose their sense of direction when they start driving?

my roommate was very kind this morning to drive me to school (Pasadena City college), it was north so we headed north, I knew the direction but he said he does too so I don't know to be annoying and all, so he drove north, and then into a little road where he only can turn left or right, so he took right, (I didn't say anything yet), then on the next intersect, he took right.. so we are going back, I took his compass and it was pointing south, I don't want to piss him off coz he was kinda frustrated already. finally we took the longer, 'official' way.

this also happens to my other friend, he lives NorthEast of me, and asked, "ok, so I drive down south to the Main Street, should i turn left or right?" ah. come on, if you are East of me, you should turn right so you are headed west to me right?
they both live here longer than i do and heck, they know the road better than i do...
