8  Exception—circumstances when warning not required
 (1) Despite section 7, a road transport business is not required to give a regulated road transport contractor a warning before terminating a services contract if the business considers on reasonable grounds that the matter relating to the contractor's conduct or capacity is such that:
 (a) it warrants taking immediate steps to terminate the contract; or
 (b) it is not reasonable to expect the business to allow the contractor to continue to perform work in the road transport industry for the business.
Note: The following are examples of when this subsection might apply:
(a) the termination of a regulated road transport contractor is required for a serious safety breach;
(b) a regulated road transport contractor's driver licence is suspended or cancelled.
 (2) In such circumstances, the road transport business may proceed directly to the show cause process in section 9.
