Concept: Rear view mirrors are convex mirrors seen in automobiles that allow drivers to observe traffic behind them. These mirrors have the feature of lateral inversion, which means that the right side of the item is perceived as the left side. Thus, the word AMBULANCE is printed laterally inverted in front of the ambulance since the image of the word would be inverted when seen in the rearview mirror by another vehicle, allowing the driver to read the word properly and give the way to the ambulance.
Ambulance is usually in a hurry. It is written laterally inverted to indicate to the car in front that it is an ambulance.
When the driver of the vehicle in front reads through the rear-view mirror, the Image of this inscription, through lateral inversion, forms a right oriented image.
