So when the drivers in cars ahead of the ambulance look in the rearview mirror, they can see the word "AMBULANCE" clearly in the mirror. If "ambulance" wasn't written in a reverse manner, then when you looked in your rearview mirror you would see it in reverse!

It is written in reverse on the front of the ambulance so that driver's can look in their rear view mirror and see that it is an ambulance that they are failing to yield right-of-way for.

The word is reversed (right to left) so the driver of a vehicle ahead of the ambulance will see it properly (left to right) in his rear-view mirror.

If the ambulance is in back of you and you look in your rear view mirror, the word is readable.

So the cars in front of them can read AMBULANCE in their rear view mirror.

Because you're more likely to see it in your rear view mirror, and in your rear view mirror, it would be spelled correctly.

If you are in front of them, you look in your rear veiw mirror and you will see it correctly. You can move out of the way.
