I have never heard anyone say that seeing an ambulance is unlucky . . . unless, of course, you see it from the inside.

I have seen them on the inside, and I felt pretty lucky about it...
Jules Essex answer: Seeing an ambulance is very unlucky unless you hold your breath or pinch your nose until you see a black or brown dog Touch your toes Touch your nose Never go in one of those Until you see a dog Agreed, it's unlucky. However, we used to touch our collars and say 'touch your collar never swallow (East end accent pronounced 'swaller'), never happen again' which kept us safe from whatever had happened to the person in the ambulance.

The word ambulance on an ambulance is backwards because when you're in front of an ambulance and there's an emergency you would usually see from your rear view mirror. When you see something in a mirror it is always backwards. so when you see the word ambulance on an ambulance, you would see it normally.
The aim of this is to allow people driving in front of the vehicle (ambulance) to see the word "AMBULANCE" when he/she looks in the rear view mirror. If the word was not reversed, the driver of the car ahead of the vehicle would see: "ECNALUBMA"

When an ambulance it traveling through traffic and is in a hurry. it may sound its siren. this will cause the driver to looking the rear vision mirror. now He will see the word Ambulance backwards because that is how you see things in reflection, so by writing it backwards the driver will see the word ambulance properly and react more quickly to the situation. This is why some ambulances have this.
Because when you see it in your rear-view mirror, It reads AMBULANCE, and you know to pull over to let it pass.
The word "Ambulance" is printed backwards on the front of the ambulance so you can read it in the mirror the right way around
so people see it in the rite direction when looooking nin the miror
So that a driver can see the word Ambulance correctly in his rear-vision mirror.
Call an ambulance, see a doctor, and get treatment.
Diffraction causes you to hear the ambulance on the other side of the building, even if you can not see it.
