Obviously if people are serving wildly from lane to lane while driving, then they are reckless drivers and ought to have their license suspended. So I don’t understand why that woman, who crossed into my lane and crashed into me while serving to avoid a pedestrian, hasn’t had her license suspended.

A. Does this passage commit a fallacy?

Answer:

A. Does this passage commit a fallacy?

Yes.

B. Does it commute an appeal to pity fallacy?

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes, this passage commit a fallacy as he compares different situation( saving a pedestrian) with general rules that end in blaming the driving force.

B) This doesn't commit Appeal to pity but it commits Appeal to Common Practice fallacy where the common practice is taken into account true and each other action is taken into account false or wrong
