8.  This Act to be read with Compliance and Enforcement Act
 (1) This Act is to be read as one with the C & E Act.
 (2) For the purposes of the C & E Act, this Act is to be taken to be a road law.
 (3) Any provision of the C & E Act that is relevant to complying with or enforcing a road law or that Act applies in relation to this Act unless the provision is only able to be applied in relation to a breach of a mass, dimension or load restraint requirement under that Act.
Example: Section 185 of the C & E Act makes void any term of a contract or agreement that purports to exclude, limit or modify the operation of that Act. This provision is able to be applied in relation to breaches other than breaches of a mass, dimension or load restraint requirement and therefore under this subsection it also applies in relation to this Act.
