How can I get car insurance in North Carolina if my driver's license is expired?

I'm moving into a house with several roommates. They all have cars, and they said they would let me borrow one of theirs if I need it. Because I didn't have a car in the past, I let my NC license expire. But now to get a new license, I need an insurance policy with my name on it. What do I do?

The DMV in
North Carolina
needs to see your name on a policy for you to take a driving test, so either option works. Once you pass the driving test and get a license, you can either keep the non-ownership policy or stay on your roommate’s policy.
