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

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.
