So you will use common sense prior to posting such a question. It's backwards so that a driver in front of the ambulance will be able to read "Ambulance" in his rear-view mirror.
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.
Its written backwards on the front of the unit so when a driver in front of the unit looks in the rear view mirror as the ambulance approaches from behind, he'll be able to read the word properly and identify the unit for what it is. And will hopefully get out of the way if the unit is rolling code 3.
The word "Ambulance" is printed backwards on the front of the ambulance so you can read it in the mirror the right way around
It is spelled backwards on the front so that cars in front of it can read the word the right way around using their rear view mirrors :)
Reflection refers to seeing something through something else-- such as a mirror. Have you ever looked in your rear view mirror at the front of an ambulance and realized that the word "Ambulance" could be read easily? That is because it is written backwards on the vehicle. The word in the reflection is correct . . . without the use of the mirror, it is unreadable.
This is because the word AMBULANCE can be read through a rearview mirror of the vehicle in front of it.
So that if you see it in your rear-view mirror, you can read it instantly, and pull over to let the ambulance go by (which is the law in most if not all states).
so other driver give him a way
So that drivers ahead of it on the road can read it (correctly) as AMBULANCE in their rear-view mirrors, and yield the right of way. If the word was not reversed, the drivers of the cars ahead of the vehicle would see: "ECNALUBMA." Of course, if it has flashing lights and sirens going, they would yield to it anyway. Perhaps this was done so that drivers would not mistake an ambulance for a police vehicle with similar lights.
Bcoz the name written in opposite direction looks on the correct direction when viewed through the mirror so that is the reason…..if a vehicle going in front of the ambulance can read it correctly and give a way to go a head
It is written that way so that drivers who are in front of the ambulance can see it written correctly in their rear-view mirrors (since images of objects are reversed in mirrors).
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"
