My preference is to land to the side of the strip so nobody can be beside me
and taxi off in that direction.
Landing on the bitumen and taxiing off onto the grass really needs the
situation in Mafeking where nobody was allowed to land on the grass or taxiing
off onto a runway strip where nobody will land, or taxiing off just past
another glider who landed previously and is blocking that part of the airfield
anyway.
As enough people have said, don't taxi towards anything, don't rely
on brakes and don't taxi where someone else has room to land.
The main thing is to use common sense and use the landing area for as little
time as possible. By taxiing off and not parking in the middle of the strip
while you walk a K to your car and then drive to glider across strip helps
safety. If you feel you don't have the skills perhaps you need to work on
them.
