Which kind of ethical theory, deontologist or consequentialist, works better for arguing ?

The consequentialist way of thinking would be more ethical. In contrast a deontologist would look at driving on one side of the road as absolute and thus be opposed to another country driving on the other side. The consequentialist would view driving on the other side of the road as a means to get where one has to go, just differently.
