So that you can see it in the rear view mirror. Although, I don’t know why you wouldn’t just know that it’s an ambulance.

So that vehicles driving ahead of the ambulance receive a mirror image of the word in their rear view mirror; and it appears from left to right and in the correct manner. This activates the drivers’ reflex and enables them to give way to the ambulance to get ahead quickly.

Usually written on the front of the ambulance so you can read it in your rear view mirror.

Yeah, it’s so that drivers can see it in their rear view mirror. In mirrors everything is reversed.

It is to reassure people with dyslexia that the paramedics care about them equally too.
