Not with the law, since the vehicle is already insured by the rental company. You can get in trouble with the rental company for driving one of their cars when you are not insured to do so. It is a liability issue and they just want more money.
If the listed driver becomes fatigued, it is best that somebody else take over for them. It is much better to be caught by the rental company than to end up in a wreck. I let two unlisted people drive my rented minivan, because I was too tired to be safe.

Yes! Only the renter who provided their credit card and licence at the time of the rental is insured to drive the car. If you were to damage the car then you would be held responsible for the market value of the car/repair of damage. You could go on as an additional driver providing you provide your licence when the car is collected. There is usually and extra charge for this (a daily rate up to a maximum charge)

Possible consequences...
If you are behind the wheel and the rental car company is contacted, they COULD actually accuse you of theft.
If there is an accident it could be denied and your friend who's name is on the rental car agreement could be held responsible financially for damages, or you could since you were behind the wheel.
All that has to be done is to discuss with the rental agency. If the renter's personal auto policy is responsible for damages, they may have an option for you, otherwise it may be necessary to purchase insurance for you to drive the veh from the rental agency itself.

Yes. Only the person who signed the rental agreement and any drivers that they listed are allowed to drive the vehicle.

Yes. If you're not an approved driver and you have an accident it may not be covered by the rental company's insurance or the renter's insurance.

Yes, your not insured for one.
If you have an accident, the person you hit will sue you, and the rental company will sue both you and the original renter.
