Why is it sometimes written in this way on the front of the ambulance?

The word ambulance would appear like the above when reflected in a plane mirror. It is written in this way to help a person driving a vehicle ahead of the ambulance to read it in the correct order as AMBULANCE when he/she sees the rear-view mirror, and give way for it to pass through. This happens because the rear-view mirror forms a laterally inverted image.
