clemzo101: I don't blame u, its because dere is no age restriction on nairaland, dats why teens like u can come here and talk paparazzi to ur elderly ones....nstead of washing plate at home or fetching water for ur mother u self carry fone begin dey write for nairaland.
You are an elder indeed.Wish Nairaland is just for teenagers like us and not for elder men that can‘t allow teens express their feelings.
You started it when you abused me,and i will give it to you:yaga-yaga.

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

Thanks for this info but I want to point out that the word was not written backward. Instead, it was laterally inverted.

To proof it, I mirrored ur "backwardly written ambulance" and that which was written on the van. The output

Why is it only the AMBULANCE that is inverted and not the word on top of the vehicle?

I have nothing against him. What annoyed me was how made his statement. Does it mean that someone can't learn something as good as that here? And why would he add comments like "unless you are among those that spent their school fees on women,phones and we-we" to his post? I never knew that was the reason the spelling is written that way till i saw this thread, and i still didn't fall into the category he mentioned in his post. I hope he learns from this. Thanks.
