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.

∙ 10y agothe main reason behind this is the property of rear-view mirror which shows the appearance of left into right and right into left (shortly known as 'lateral inversion') this in turn helps the driver in the front to appear the word 'ambulance' correctly in his rear view mirror and give the ambulance side.

∙ 12y agoIt's usually only reversed on the front... so that people who see it behind them in their rear view mirrors can read it. However, if someone is too stupid to recognize that that big van with flashing lights and a siren is an emergency vehicle, I'm not sure that having "Ambulance' written on it is likely to help, since they're probably also illiterate.

Writing letter with lateral inversion. Not upside down. It is inverted only laterally.
