Ambulance is written normally on the side of the vehicle to ensure that it is easily readable to other drivers when the ambulance is approaching from behind. However, on the front, the word is often reversed or mirrored so that it appears correctly in the rearview mirrors of vehicles ahead, allowing drivers to quickly recognize the emergency vehicle and yield the right of way. This design enhances visibility and safety during emergencies.
This is because the word AMBULANCE can be read through a rearview mirror of the vehicle in front of it.
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"
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"
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
So that when you look in your mirror, it's easy to recognise the vehicle such as Ambulance, Police car.
It is written that way because when you look in the rear-view and side-view mirrors, you can see "AMBULANCE" written correctly, and can pull over to the right side of the road to let it through.
im assuming that you mean the livery on vehicles. I cant find a specific date but i know that the livery was done this way because vehicle drivers may not be able to read the word when an ambulance is behind them. Because of this, they may worry that it might be a police vehicle.
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.

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 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.
