Oh, incidentally 911 there, is 999 here, for a very good reason that used to be published in the front cover of every phone book.

Non-UK chaps may take a guess if so desired.

Dialing three nines takes longer on those old telephones?!? :

We dial "112". Only dialed it once when I saw a guy crashing into the left-hand crash barrier on the motorway one night. The police, ambulance and tow service all arrived within 15 minutes, the scene had been cleared within half an hour. All very professional and efficient. The driver was apprehended as he was drunk
