No.

Many years ago I was driving on the freeway doing about 65mph.  The
previous day I had removed the nut from my steering wheel because I
wanted to straighten it out (it was not centered).  I could not remove
the wheel since it was too tight.  Even hammering on it would not
loosen it.

So here I am doing 65 and the steering wheel came off.  Talk about
panic.  All I could do was slam on the brakes and hope the cars behind
me did not crash into me.  I  was able to get the wheel back on the
shaft just before going off the road into a ditch. When the cops came,
I told them I could drive out of the ditch, but they said if I drove
without the nut on the steering wheel they would arrest me.  Of course
the nut was at home in my garage.  They drove me to the nearest off
ramp, where I went to a parts store and bought a nut and a wrench,
then walked back to my car to fix it.
