Why is ‘ambulance’ spelled backwards?

When you see an ambulance in the street you will definitely notice that the word ‘AMBULANCE ‘ is spelled backwards, like ‘ECNALUBMA’. Why?

The main reason for this is to be readable by the drivers. ‘Ambulance’ is written backwards on the front of the vehicles so that drivers ahead can easily read the word from their rear view mirrors, especially in case of an emergency.
