The guy was a P plater. and the victim was taken away in a Ambo.
The act is classed as attempted murder and also leaving the scene of a crime, and failing to render assistance at a accident, the list goes on. He going to jail regardless.

Thanks guys xxxx
I can stand 15 feet from the car and hear the pump working over the engine noise lol.
Thanks Paul, the motor is a vast improvement on the old one.
It pings at the upper end of the rev range
but it could be the pump pressure dropping out at the upper end causing the ping.
