> The Hiibel decision was narrow in that it applied only to states that have stop and identify statutes. Consequently, individuals in states without such statutes cannot be lawfully arrested solely for refusing to identify themselves during a Terry stop.

Hiible wasn't operating a vehicle; he was standing outside, near it. It was not a traffic stop.
And just for clarity, a Terry stop is any brief investigative detention, not just those that arise from traffic stops.

Terry stops != traffic stop
You are required to provide a license to operate a vehicle.

That case is about Terry stops, not about failure to identify when operating a motor vehicle.
A Terry stop includes detainments of pedestrians, who do not have an obligation to identify in most states.
