Where a specimen of urine was provided by a driver, but outside the one hour period allowed for such purposes, the analysis of the specimen was nevertheless admissible in evidence. The purpose of the section was to impose an obligation on the suspect which, if he failed to meet it, would leave him open to a separate charge. A police officer, allowing the suspect extra time, did not make the specimen inadmissible.
