Why is an ambulance an example of reflection?

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.

Why the word ambulance written backwards on the front of the Ambulance?

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.
