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.
