The victim and two of his friends were returning home after witnessing Mashramani celebrations at Anna Regina.
Police also slapped Blake with charges of breach of insurance and being an unlicensed driver and he was fined $15,000 and $25,000, respectively, for those offences.
Blake will make another Court appearance on the other charge next March 15.
