The word AMBULANCE it would appear like this when reflected in a plane mirror.

It is sometimes written in this way on the front of an ambulance so that while driving, if we see in our rear-view mirror that a hospital van is coming from behind, then we will get the laterally inverted image of and read it as AMBULANCE and give way for it to pass through.
