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.

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