SEE Why The Word “AMBULANCE” Is Written Backward on Vans






Ever wondered why Ambulance is written backwards?
Then continue to Read….

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.
