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.
