  Yes, but you should be sure you are able to safely take the action before signaling your intent. If you turn on your blinker before looking and there is a car next to you, that driver may be startled by your sudden blinker and the possibility that you’re about to change lanes.

  Signal your intention before you take any action

  Signal before action, not signal before checking that the action is possible.

      If they’re in a fast moving traffic jam and braking to let you in would fuck everyone up. If they’re going faster than you and heading into the gap you need and braking to let you in would fuck them up.

      Use some common sense. Signal without an immediate space available if the cars in your way have a reasonable way to let you in. Don’t invite a pile up because you feel entitled to the space regardless.
