^^Not if you lack the skills to anticipate where you wish to go, look around, signal your intention, find an appropriate gap, check again and move into it. Exactly the same skills people use when driving a car.
My rule of thumb is to ride in the manner I'd like to see drivers use the road, so not mounting the kerb or running red lights, signalling intentions early and clearly (so not indicating once already turning) but there seem to be many cyclists who think differently.
