It is the concept of curve mirror, we have concave(convergent) and convex(divergent) mirror. Concave is use for shaving why convex is use for driving mirror. Lemme give the characteristic of the convex mirror......(1).virtual: which means it cannot be caught on a screen, in other word, it is not real. Virtual also mean that the image is formed behind the mirror. (2)lateral inverted, it simply means that the right side of the object being view appears to be the left side, this is the basic concept of why AMBULANCE is written not really upside down but from the back. (3)it has a wider view, that is object at far distance can appear closer. This is so, so that the driver can adjust to any car that is behind him/her on time. (4)image is diminished, that is image decreases(small) in size when view from the mirror.

Stanley4E: So that drivers ahead of it on the road can read
it (correctly) as AMBULANCE in their rear-view
mirrors, and yield the right of way.
If the word was not reversed, the drivers of the
cars ahead of the vehicle would see:
"ECNALUBMA."
Of course, if it has flashing lights and sirens
going, they would yield to it anyway. Perhaps
this was done so that drivers would not mistake
an ambulance for a police vehicle with similar
lights.

MOD please get this to front page to educate others. thanks
Dumbazz op it is simply called 'mirror-view'... No vex say I call you dummy yuh here..

PrinceAdepoju: I've never seen it written like this in Nigeria.
Our people are knowlegdeable enough to see it as an Ambulance.

Even if they are not learned, the van, siren and the red cross sign will make see it as one.
