Can I retake the motorcycle test without waiting 10 days?

No, you must wait until after 10 days. Motorcycle license test contents: Subject 1: Theoretical test, mostly conducted via computer. Subject 2: Field test, mainly involving pole weaving. Subject 3: Road test, including tasks like narrow bridge, hill start, right-angle turn, and designated parking. Field test and road test specifications for pole weaving: Distance between poles and sideline is vehicle width plus 30 cm (generally about 1 meter between poles and sideline); Pole spacing: For regular and light two-wheel motorcycles, it's vehicle length plus 50 cm; For standard three-wheel motorcycles, vehicle length plus 40 cm; For sidecar motorcycles, vehicle length plus 80 cm; (Generally 2.5 to 3 meters for two-wheelers); Finish line is 3 times the vehicle length from the last pole.
I remember when I failed my motorcycle test last time, I was really eager to retake it immediately. However, the driving instructor waved his hand and said I had to wait about 7 days, with some places requiring up to 10 days. He explained that the exam system needs time to process the results, and it also gives candidates a breather to reflect on their mistakes, like my issue with taking turns too sharply. During those waiting days, I specifically went to an open area in the suburbs to practice balance and deceleration control more. Instead of obsessing over the time, I focused on safety being the top priority. There are plenty of chances to retake the test—being patient and seeking advice from friends can help you pass on the next try, whereas rushing might just lead to repeating the same mistakes.
