Hi

Here is ur answer

______________________

# Vehicles are fitted with convex mirror.

# When the word AMBULANCE is written straight then the vehicle which goes in front of the AMBULANCE will be shown as reverse, so they can't see the word correctly.

# So when AMBULANCE is printed reverse, by convex mirror other drivers can easily see the word.

# And hence leave space to send the AMBULANCE fast in emergency cases.

Answer:

When the ambulance approaches another vehicle, the driver of the other vehicle can read the word 'ambulance' in his rear view mirror. So he can slow down his vehicle and give way to the ambulance to overtake him. This is the purpose behind writing ambulance in reverse.

Explanation:

  • Principle of Lateral Inversion! ‘Ambulance' is written backwards so that the driver of any vehicle in its front can instantly read the inverted word in their Rear View Mirror and give way on priority. Top : As written on the Ambulance. Bottom : As seen in the Rear View Mirror of front vehicle. This is in addition to the siren sound.
  • This is necessary because in traffic, ambulances are supposed to be given right of way and so apart from their sirens; the word ambulance is made easily readable from the mirror of vehicles in front of them. International standards state that ambulances should have the world ambulance written in reverse on the bonnet.
  • Holding a piece of paper up to the mirror in your bathroom will reverse whatever is on it. ‘Ambulance’ Needs to be written backwards (reversed) on the front/hood of the vehicle so that anybody driving in front can read what it says in their rear-view mirror and can easily identify the ambulance.
