Narrative:

Cleared to land and landed--tower requested 'left next taxiway--ground point 6.' 2 aircraft landing behind me (distance unknown). Upon clearing just past hold short lines and onto taxiway and switching to ground frequency I was verbally reprimanded for not holding short of taxiway as I caused a conflict with taxiing traffic (a cessna 172?). My passenger (a pilot) nor I heard 'hold short' (a telephone conversation with tower ground controller indicated that he heard the tower give a hold short instruction). 2 thoughts come to mind. 1--I could have said 'unable' at tower request to turn off next taxiway. I was still smartly moving along and heavy braking was required. If they were concerned about a conflict on taxiway or letting me hang out between taxiway and runway, I could have easily exited next taxiway. It would be nice if they would have said 'ground 21.6' versus point 6. I forgot to check my airport facility direction for ground frequency and thinking about what this frequency was upon touchdown. May have stopped my ears from working for a few seconds. (Tower did say over telephone 'no problem.')

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: PVT PLT OF AN SMS SEL FAILS TO STOP SHORT OF TXWY AS REQUESTED BY TWR AFTER TURNING OFF RWY AFTER LNDG. CAUSING CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER TAXIING ACFT.

Narrative: CLRED TO LAND AND LANDED--TWR REQUESTED 'L NEXT TXWY--GND POINT 6.' 2 ACFT LNDG BEHIND ME (DISTANCE UNKNOWN). UPON CLRING JUST PAST HOLD SHORT LINES AND ONTO TXWY AND SWITCHING TO GND FREQ I WAS VERBALLY REPRIMANDED FOR NOT HOLDING SHORT OF TXWY AS I CAUSED A CONFLICT WITH TAXIING TFC (A CESSNA 172?). MY PAX (A PLT) NOR I HEARD 'HOLD SHORT' (A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH TWR GND CTLR INDICATED THAT HE HEARD THE TWR GIVE A HOLD SHORT INSTRUCTION). 2 THOUGHTS COME TO MIND. 1--I COULD HAVE SAID 'UNABLE' AT TWR REQUEST TO TURN OFF NEXT TXWY. I WAS STILL SMARTLY MOVING ALONG AND HVY BRAKING WAS REQUIRED. IF THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT A CONFLICT ON TXWY OR LETTING ME HANG OUT BTWN TXWY AND RWY, I COULD HAVE EASILY EXITED NEXT TXWY. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY WOULD HAVE SAID 'GND 21.6' VERSUS POINT 6. I FORGOT TO CHK MY ARPT FACILITY DIRECTION FOR GND FREQ AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT THIS FREQ WAS UPON TOUCHDOWN. MAY HAVE STOPPED MY EARS FROM WORKING FOR A FEW SECONDS. (TWR DID SAY OVER TELEPHONE 'NO PROB.')
