Sure, you can drive down a road marked as "Private," but you don't have a legal right to be there, as you would on a public road. If the land owner sees you and asks you to leave, you are legally obligated to do so, or you could potentially face trespassing charges.
But remember, there's a reason that the road has been marked as "Private," and it's usually because the land owner values his/her privacy. Be respectful and stay off of private roads, unless you have legitimate business in being there.
