Mirror image left-right reverrsal anomally

Hi Jeff, I used to wonder about this, too. Then, I realized that the mirror doesn't reverse the image; we do. For example, look at something in your room without a mirror. Then, turn around and use a mirror to look at the same thing. The mirror didn't reverse the image; you did when you turned around. The same thing happens when you look through your rear-view mirror and see the word "Ambulance." They print it in reverse, because two negatives make a positive. You look in the mirror and see what is behind you, as if you'd turned around (1 negative). They printed the word in reverse (1 negative). The result (2 negatives= 1 positive) is being able to read it properly. All the best, JD
