Astra Driver:

That might have been the case at LAX, but when the Tower Controller, anywhere, calls you as you are still stowing the thrust reverser levers at 70 knots with a totally unexpected clearance at the wrong time, to cross an active runway, that is out of bounds and uncalled for.

We must then check and clarify this critical clearance
{this abrupt interruption} by ATC, after the plane has cleared the high-speed turnoff exit.

In such situations our plane was never on fire, which would have justified an immediate radio call.
