Accounts I've read of this, no you do not get to drive, at all.
They will take it into a back room, do things you won't get to see, and you may get it back when they're done with you, or they may keep it (example: [1]).
If you're a security researcher, or property paranoid, you can then dispose of the device in some way, because you have no idea what they did to it, the device firmware, baseband, etc. Probably nothing, right? But the time and effort it'd take to vet it all is prohibitive.
