Absolutely!
For a newer driver that has never experienced oversteer, understeer is a much safer way to experience a loss of traction/grip, or overcoming the amount of grip the tires have to offer. Additionally, the instinctive response to let go of the throttle when you lose grip typically results in a reduction in understeer, whereas with oversteer, lifting usually guarantees a spin (the proper response is to stay on the throttle and correct with the steering wheel, but this is something that is counterintuitive).
