Answer:
this effect is an example of mirror writing
Explanation:
A common modern usage of mirror writing can be found on the front of ambulances, where the word "AMBULANCE" is often written in very large mirrored text, so that drivers see the word the right way around in their rear-view mirror.

This is due to real-view mirrors which possess the property of lateral inversion.
- Real view mirrors also called convex mirrors are present in the vehicles to see the other vehicles coming from behind.
- They show a property called lateral inversion.
- Lateral inversion: The object present on the right-handed side is seen as a left-handed side.
- Usually "AMBULANCE" is written laterally so that the viewer when viewing it from the convex mirror gets an inverted image that is read correctly in order to provide space for the vehicle to move.
