291     physician assistant of the person's own choice administer a chemical test in addition to the test
292     or tests administered at the direction of a peace officer.
293          (b) The failure or inability to obtain the additional test does not affect admissibility of
294     the results of the test or tests taken at the direction of a peace officer, or preclude or delay the
295     test or tests to be taken at the direction of a peace officer.
296          (c) The additional test shall be subsequent to the test or tests administered at the
297     direction of a peace officer.
