Narrative:

Just an FYI. Lga tower has a bad habit of talking to the landing aircraft while still at a very high speed on the runway. We landed at night; in the rain; with gusty winds after a very long day. Right after touchdown; at about 120 KTS; the tower told us to try and make a certain turnoff exit point. I did not answer the call until we were at a safer (slower) speed. Lga is just not the place for that type of ATC communication. I certainly would not commit to a particular exit off a short; wet runway until it is safe; so they need not ask. If their spacing is too close; they caused their own problem. I just do not think that call is appropriate.

Title: B737 ON LNDG ROLL AT LGA RECEIVED RWY EXIT INSTRUCTIONS AT APPROX 120 KTS DURING BUSY COCKPIT WORKLOAD.

Narrative: JUST AN FYI. LGA TWR HAS A BAD HABIT OF TALKING TO THE LNDG ACFT WHILE STILL AT A VERY HIGH SPD ON THE RWY. WE LANDED AT NIGHT; IN THE RAIN; WITH GUSTY WINDS AFTER A VERY LONG DAY. RIGHT AFTER TOUCHDOWN; AT ABOUT 120 KTS; THE TWR TOLD US TO TRY AND MAKE A CERTAIN TURNOFF EXIT POINT. I DID NOT ANSWER THE CALL UNTIL WE WERE AT A SAFER (SLOWER) SPD. LGA IS JUST NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT TYPE OF ATC COM. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT COMMIT TO A PARTICULAR EXIT OFF A SHORT; WET RWY UNTIL IT IS SAFE; SO THEY NEED NOT ASK. IF THEIR SPACING IS TOO CLOSE; THEY CAUSED THEIR OWN PROB. I JUST DO NOT THINK THAT CALL IS APPROPRIATE.
