Let's talk gun ownership and statistics. More precisely: the unseen power of very small probabilities.

I assume this very much depends on where the foreign ID is from.

My reasoning was more that your operating a vehicle should require some form of local licence or an IDP, and identifying yourself with a foreign id doesnt prove you can drive. Ie: bartender shouldn't question age based on nation, but a German ID alone doesnt mean you can drive.

For rental cars you don't need local IDs.

I was not aware of that. TIL.

Stereotyping is a very powerful tool. It sets priors in an engagement where you know very little about the other. Germans build cars, drive on the autobahn, have very strict drivers license tests, and are more likely tourists than residents.
-
So me handing over my German drivers license was a way to set priors based on stereotypes (which might be true or not in my case) to defuse a potentially tense situation. That's a privilege not everybody has.
