Actually, the image is NOT inverted. Take a look at the mirror: top is top, bottom is bottom, left is left, and right is right! The reason you see it inverted is more psychological; when you turn around towards the mirror, you turn around your horizontal axis - YOU invert right and left. The same happens when anybody turns towards you. If you look at somebody from behind, that perso's left part is at your left, and its right part is at your right. If the person turns around, towards you, it is THE PERSON that inverts left and right!

Note that there is ONE thing that the mirror does invert, and that is back and front.
