Question

Why is the word ambulance printed laterally inverted on an ambulance van?


Open in App
Solution

  • The word AMBULANCE is written inverted because when it is seen in the rearview mirror in the vehicles ahead of the ambulance van, the drivers see it as AMBULANCE.
  • The lateral inversion of the image nullifies the already laterally inverted text on the ambulance, which makes it easier to read in a mirror ultimately helping the ambulance to navigate through the traffic faster.
