Not exaclty. But by the time it stops your fuel gauge should read FULL.
The fuel pump nozzel detects the high concentraction of fumes or even fuel coming back up the filler neck of the car and shuts off. Should the handle not work and continue to pump and overfill your car, there should be in plain sight, a RED emergency shut off button. Normally posted on the End poles.

It is not recommend to continue to click the handle to fill the car to the very top.
1. Expansion during hot weather can cause the tank to rupture or as a minimum leak fuel out onto the ground and pose a major fire hazzard.
2. All unleaded fuel cars use a system to pressurize the tank to allow the vapors to be burned off in the engine instead of leaked off into the environment. A too full tank can cause this system to malfunction
3. Fuel injected cars send more fuel to the engine then is needed. The remaining fuel is then sent back to the tank. If the tank is too full this return port is unable to return the fuel.
4. Chances of splash back during filling. fuel on your clothes or skin causing skin irritation and the possibility of fire. Not to mention wasting this high priced commodity.

Also just for FYI:
-Using a cellphone during filling has been contributed to inducing a spark which causes the vapors to flash and cause nasty fires.
-Climbing in and out of a car while filling up, normally during the cold month, has been contributed to causing a fire by building static electricity on the drivers clothes. When the drivers grabbed the fuel nozzel a spark ingited the vapors and caused a very nasty fire.
-NEVER EVER fill a fuel can while it is in, or on, your vehicle. Fire hazzard
