I would not drive without a valid license (PI or elsewhere). I would pay a fixer to get it done (bring 2 id's, passport, ACR) and pay extra. Last I heard it cost about 2-2500p to get it done that way.....

I found some info,apparently driving without a license is $50 USA dollar fine.

also keep the original receipt for your PI DL once obtained. otherwise the police will say its fake. once you have one it will be rasy to renew in 3 years.

also take extreme care when driving. the foreigner (or the one with most $) is always at fault whether true or not.
i recommend getting comprehensive insurance to help mitigate liability and make sure it has "act of god" coverage.
