By . Steph Cockroft . Liam Holohan, 22, from Chatham, Kent, bought emergency flashing lights and ambulance stickers so he could pretend to be a paramedic . A fantasist who dreamed about being a paramedic fitted emergency lights onto his car and put a 'First Response' sticker onto the bonnet so he could drive through 30mph zones at 70mph. Liam Holohan, 22, from Chatham, Kent, even bought a paramedic's uniform from the internet, as well as an 'ambulance officer' sticker for the back window of his makeshift ambulance. He was only caught when police spotted his Suzuki Vitara driving at 70mph through Maidstone town centre. Maidstone Crown Court heard the officer who spotted Holohan . recognised the Suzuki was . not a ‘normal response car’ for a paramedic. The court heard how Holohan - who also bought medical equipment for his vehicle - was . followed by police and ordered to the side of the road, but sped up and zoomed . off. He almost crashed on a series of corners as police chased him, the court was told. Holohan . drove ‘at speeds of up to 70mph’ in a 30mph zone for four miles before . ditching his car and running off, but was soon tracked down by police. When he was arrested, he told police he was a registered paramedic and was on his way home from work. He claimed he owned a firm that was . sub-contracted to the NHS to provide emergency response and that he had . been trained to drive in ‘emergency response conditions’. He lies collapsed, however, and he eventually admitted being a delivery driver. The court heard how Holohan had even pretended . to his family that he was a trained paramedic in a bid to ‘impress . them’ and had bought a paramedic's outfit, emergency lights, medical gear . and car stickers on the internet. Maidstone Crown Court heard how Holohan had also fitted emergency blue and red flashing lights to the top of his car. Scroll down for video . When he was caught by police, Holohan, pictured driving another car, said he was sub-contracted to the . NHS to provide emergency response and had been trained to drive in those . condition. Holohan admitted dangerous driving and . having no insurance. He was banned from the road for 18 months and . ordered to retake his driving test. He was also given a one-year community order and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work. Judge Jeremy Carey told Holohan: 'This is quite extraordinary behaviour, and there appears to be nothing that makes it explicable. Holohan dressed his Suzuki Vitara in emergency flashing . lights, and stickers saying 'First Response' and 'Ambulance Driver'.

I hope unpaid work will give you a long time to reflect on your . stupid and serious offending.' Holohan claims on his Facebook page that he studied ‘Paramedic Science at Medway NHS’. Writing after being sentenced last week, Holohan said on Facebook: 'Come on everyone have a go - yes I done wrong but every one makes mistakes in there (sic) life.'
