Can I drive a rented car with a limited license?

Please look at the language included in your limited driving privilege very carefully. There is a section that can limit which vehicles you can operate, and there are sections that limit which places  and what hours you can drive.  If you are ever caught driving outside of those limitations it is the same as driving with a revoked license and you can be charged.  The limited driving privilege is supposed to show your home address and your job's address.  I am pretty sure that driving outside of the state of NC while posessing only a Limited Driving Privilege from North carolina is a violation of the limited driving privilege.  I am saying this because I presume that both your home and your job are in the same state, and any police officer who stopped you in another state would likely not believe that you were travelling from your house to your job if you were in a totally different state.  I reinterate, please read your Limited Driving Privilege carefully.  A lot of these answers depend on the specific wording of your limited driving privilege.
