The Aussie Brit was not defending himself- he ran to the back of his car to grab the knife , then ran towards the Thai guy and his car. None of that was necessary.
Regarding giving the Thai guy time to move- watch the video on the previous page, Coconuts site- the Aussie/Brit jumps into his car and immediately moves forward, trying to run over the Thai guy. The Thai guy has no time to move.
