Nooooo.
In the pitch dark or with thick smoke obscuring vision, you feel for the finger stop on the dial and use the second finger immediately to the left of it to find the 0 and then the first finger finds the 9 to the left of that, from there you can remove the second finger and dial 9 three times.

We dial "112". Only dialed it once . . . . . . . . . . All very professional and efficient. The driver was apprehended as he was drunk

I strongly agree and add another coupe of
