(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)—
(a)an insufficiency of funds is not a reasonable excuse unless attributable to events outside the person’s control;
(b)where the person relies on another person to do anything, that is not a reasonable excuse unless the first person took reasonable care to avoid the failure;
