Narrative:

Cleared for offset visibility approach (airport in sight but not runway threshold). Neither pilot picked out threshold until high-start-approach existed. Landed west/O incident. Control tower controller directed to clear runway at next right turnoff (night). No obstacles or traffic visible. Upon transitioning from runway, bright lights to turnoff/taxi dim lights, light twin became visible. The captain slowed, the light twin altered his direction of taxi left, then circled right. This was at the throat connecting runway and taxiway. The ground controller initiated discussion to the effect pilots are to look before exiting runway. It is my opinion that: 1) pilots are always supposed to look. 2) under these (dark with lighting-brightness transitions) conditions, pilot lookout would be insufficient to avoid collision. 3) there is a stronger pull to follow controller directions, especially following a non-routine approach, than to suspect a pilot is being directed to a collision. I recommend the tower controller and ground controller communicate with each other as they used to.

Title: ACR LTT TURNED OFF RWY AND DIDN'T STOP BEFORE REACHING THE PARALLEL TXWY. SMT TOOK EVASIVE ACTION TO MISS LTT.

Narrative: CLRED FOR OFFSET VIS APCH (ARPT IN SIGHT BUT NOT RWY THRESHOLD). NEITHER PLT PICKED OUT THRESHOLD UNTIL HIGH-START-APCH EXISTED. LANDED W/O INCIDENT. CTL TWR CTLR DIRECTED TO CLR RWY AT NEXT RIGHT TURNOFF (NIGHT). NO OBSTACLES OR TFC VISIBLE. UPON TRANSITIONING FROM RWY, BRIGHT LIGHTS TO TURNOFF/TAXI DIM LIGHTS, LIGHT TWIN BECAME VISIBLE. THE CAPT SLOWED, THE LIGHT TWIN ALTERED HIS DIRECTION OF TAXI LEFT, THEN CIRCLED RIGHT. THIS WAS AT THE THROAT CONNECTING RWY AND TXWY. THE GND CTLR INITIATED DISCUSSION TO THE EFFECT PLTS ARE TO LOOK BEFORE EXITING RWY. IT IS MY OPINION THAT: 1) PLTS ARE ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO LOOK. 2) UNDER THESE (DARK WITH LIGHTING-BRIGHTNESS TRANSITIONS) CONDITIONS, PLT LOOKOUT WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT TO AVOID COLLISION. 3) THERE IS A STRONGER PULL TO FOLLOW CTLR DIRECTIONS, ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING A NON-ROUTINE APCH, THAN TO SUSPECT A PLT IS BEING DIRECTED TO A COLLISION. I RECOMMEND THE TWR CTLR AND GND CTLR COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AS THEY USED TO.
