Failed DMV test, can I go back the next day to try it again?

Question

I recently failed the DMV driving test. After I failed, the instructor gave me a paper that stated that I must wait at least 5 days before trying again. However, I've heard of people being able to re-test the day after with no problem. Is the 5 day thing a reccomendation, or is it actually put into the system and I'll prevented to re-test if I tried. I'm thinking about going to DMV Monday, but before I do I'd like to know before I wait another 3 hours just to be told that I must wait.

Answer 1

Many states differ and many states have on line services that might be of assistance, 24/7. Google up your states Department of Transportation and do some research. I've found our state site to be excellent. Option 2 wait till Monday and call them, beats waiting in line just to be told " Yeah, it's five days".
