Of course not (unless you want to absolutely ensure that you won't get turned into because you were passing on the right). But as I noted, use extreme caution at intersections both for left turning traffic and right turning traffic. In cases where there are two lanes in your direction, I prefer to lane split to get me away from right turners and make left turners more easy to see.
