I was reading a book and I found this odd (to me) sentence: "You know better than to go riding off when a storm's approaching" I was taught that "better than" is used to compare two things: A is better than B. But in this sentence, I have no clue what's being compared. Awful awful sentence. Is this a common/natural expression?

Common, natural and correct 🙂 The person being addressed knows they shouldn't have gone riding off in that situation. It's comparing what they did with what they know.
