How long after a failed driving test appointment can I make another appointment?

If your driving test appointment fails, you need to wait at least 10 days before you can make another appointment. Here are some precautions about the driving test: Stalling on an uphill start: This mainly happens when the handbrake is released before the car lifts its head, or when the clutch is lifted too quickly at the beginning. You should hold the handbrake while slowly lifting the clutch, wait until the car head lifts and then hold the clutch steady, quickly release the handbrake, let the car move forward 2-3m, then slowly lift the rest of the clutch, and gently press the accelerator to shift to second gear. Forgetting to signal: Forgetting to signal the second time when making a one-time turn, you should turn on the right signal, step on the brake, pull over, slow down and press the clutch to shift to first gear, check the left rearview mirror, and if there are no cars behind, turn on the left signal. Turn the steering wheel quickly but move slowly, keep your right foot on the brake ready to brake at any time, and straighten the wheel after the turn.
Last time when I was preparing to book my driver's license test, my first attempt failed because the slots at popular test centers were all taken. However, I refreshed the webpage and immediately tried again, succeeding that time. The system doesn't specify how long you must wait after a failure; you can basically retry in real-time. Common reasons include unstable internet connection, incorrect input information, or fully booked test centers. From my experience, it's best to avoid peak hours like early mornings or weekends when everyone is trying. For example, booking after 3 PM tends to have a higher success rate. If you fail continuously, don't panic—try switching browsers or devices; sometimes, the mobile app is faster than the computer. Patience is key, and keeping an eye on announcements or SMS notifications from the DMV platform will make the process much easier. Total word count: 163.
