minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink28•11 months agoI love the detail on the ambulance, even the word “ambulance” is mirrored
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink21•11 months agoiirc it’s so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I’m sure there’s more to it than that

Why is it mirrored?
iirc it’s so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I’m sure there’s more to it than that
And presumably in the rear-view mirror as well :P
Oh wow. That makes sense
Nope, that’s it!
