A 17 year old with a valid drivers license can drive in any state that has the law making it legal for a 17 year old to drive in that state. If your state allows you to drive at 17 it will be illegal to drive in a state that you must be 18 years old to drive in. You must obey the laws of the state in which you are driving in. Your state laws may differ from other states. Be sure to learn and obey the laws of the state you are in. Most states allow 17 year olds to drive.

I learned my lesson the hard way. When I was 16 in Pennsylvania I obtained my drivers license. I then drove over to New Jersey where you must be 17 years old to drive. I got a ticket for driving without a license even though I had one issued from PA.

There are other states that allow people as young as 14 years old to drive. It would be illegal for those young people to drive in any state that requires you to be older.

To be totally safe just call any DMV of the state that you intend to travel in, or check it on the DMV internet site then drive safe, obey the laws and enjoy life. Driving is a great freedom. Driving reckless, or too fast may be fun but it can put others and yourself in jeopardy. It only takes one split second of bad judgment to change your or someone else's life forever.
