Can you drive without a hood?

Just do it. If you get stopped tell the cop that your going to pick it up since that's what your doing. It's not bab for the engine. It'll just run cooler. So if it's cold then it's not really recommended.

Hood schmood...who needs one? Taking your hood off to go pick up another one is an excellent ingenious idea, I've done it before! Can't say what your laws are either, but I do know that it can't be against the law here or the cop that once gave me a ticket for accidentally squeaking my tires at a cruise night would certainly have added that as well (he didn't take "oops" as a good enough excuse).
