Usually it isn't...but what happens if you hit a pot-hole or slippery surface just at the critical moment? In for the former, the steering could jerk to point somewhere you don't want and in the latter, the self-centering action... won't. Both cases are rare but why take the risk and what advantage is there in letting it slide?
I would argue keeping positive control of the steering wheel (i.e. a hand gripping) at all times is better than relying on something outside your ultimate control.

The answer is yes - woefully so.
Cars get faster, tyres and brakes get better year on year but we keep turning out drivers to the same lamentable standard as we have for many years.
If it were a commercial company and the training given wasn't upto date with the machinery being offered you would risk corporate negligence.
Is the driving test out of date?

The problem is post test.
