Question

why is word ambulance written laterally inverted on ambulance

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The word AMBULANCE is written inverted because if it is seen through a mirror in the vehicles ahead the drivers see it as AMBULANCE without inversion and hence give way ambulance without any delay.

Answer 2

• Usually, an ambulance is on its way.
• It is written laterally inverted to signal to the driver that the vehicle in front is an ambulance.
• When the driver of the car in front reads through the rear-view mirror, the picture of this inscription becomes a right-oriented image through lateral inversion.
• Rear view mirrors are convex mirrors that are used in automobiles to allow the driver to see what is going on behind them.
• The right side of the item is perceived as the left side in these mirrors because of the lateral inversion characteristic.
• Thus, the word AMBULANCE is written laterally inverted in front of the ambulance because the image of the word would become inverted when seen in the rear view mirror by another vehicle, allowing the driver to read the word properly and provide way to the ambulance.
