Why is the word "AMBULANCE" spelled backwards like this in front of

ambulance vehicles?

The word is written backwards and flipped on the front of the vehicles to
enable motorists in front to easily read it on their rear-view mirrors, especially
during emergencies. That way, people looking in their rear-view mirrors or side-
mirrors can read it as AMBULANCE. Ambulance are typically in greater speed
than surrounding vehicles. This makes the ambulance front (hood or bumper)
visible in the rear-view mirrors of other cars. That way, those cars that need to
give way for the ambulance to drive through in traffic would do so. 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.

The choice to have a great attitude

is something that nobody
or no circumstances
can take from you.
