If it's a busy mixed traffic airport you use regularly, that might not be the smartest of ideas, given that ATC decide the priority for taxi and a myriad of other things ... and they also remember voices pretty well in my experience .

If you cause a go around, especially if its commercial traffic, someone might just get the hump about that.

I'm not a heavy brake user, generally, but surely a degree of common sense and reasonableness comes into this - if one decides to land at an ATC airport, one should generally follow the clearances unless there is a compleeing reason not to.

BTW, I have paid for my own as well as renting.
