Narrative:
Approaching airport from the northeast, we were cleared to enter a mid- field right downwind for runway 33 and told to follow traffic on downwind, expect to be #2 for landing. Upon entering downwind, encountered reduced visibility due to light rain shower on south field boundary. Upon re-establishing visual contact with traffic we were following, we were 'cleared to land #2 runway 33.' while on final, spacing between us and #1 was diminishing. I made a reduction in approach speed over the numbers. #1 was on the taxiway and clear of runway. Once on the runway, we were unable to make the first taxiway and advised tower 'unable' to make first exit, but will expedite to next exit. Next radio transmission was 'keep it to the right, keep it to the right,' and within seconds a beechcraft baron passed on the runway off our left side, while we were still on the runway, and decelerating. We took evasive action to the right of the runway and the baron passed within 5 ft of our left wingtip. Baron's evasive action took its left main off the runway and onto the grass, on the left side of the runway. Tower needs to increase spacing between arrs in order to prevent near collisions. Tower never instructed baron to go around, and baron neglected to go around.

Title: C310 PAX OBSERVES LNDG BE55 PASS IMMEDIATELY TO L OF THEIR ACFT WHILE DECELERATING ON LNDG ROLL. TWR LCL CTLR XMITS, WITHOUT CALL SIGN, 'KEEP TO R.' BOTH ACFT TAKE EVASIVE ACTION.
Narrative: APCHING ARPT FROM THE NE, WE WERE CLRED TO ENTER A MID- FIELD R DOWNWIND FOR RWY 33 AND TOLD TO FOLLOW TFC ON DOWNWIND, EXPECT TO BE #2 FOR LNDG. UPON ENTERING DOWNWIND, ENCOUNTERED REDUCED VISIBILITY DUE TO LIGHT RAIN SHOWER ON S FIELD BOUNDARY. UPON RE-ESTABLISHING VISUAL CONTACT WITH TFC WE WERE FOLLOWING, WE WERE 'CLRED TO LAND #2 RWY 33.' WHILE ON FINAL, SPACING BTWN US AND #1 WAS DIMINISHING. I MADE A REDUCTION IN APCH SPD OVER THE NUMBERS. #1 WAS ON THE TXWY AND CLR OF RWY. ONCE ON THE RWY, WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE THE FIRST TXWY AND ADVISED TWR 'UNABLE' TO MAKE FIRST EXIT, BUT WILL EXPEDITE TO NEXT EXIT. NEXT RADIO XMISSION WAS 'KEEP IT TO THE R, KEEP IT TO THE R,' AND WITHIN SECONDS A BEECHCRAFT BARON PASSED ON THE RWY OFF OUR L SIDE, WHILE WE WERE STILL ON THE RWY, AND DECELERATING. WE TOOK EVASIVE ACTION TO THE R OF THE RWY AND THE BARON PASSED WITHIN 5 FT OF OUR L WINGTIP. BARON'S EVASIVE ACTION TOOK ITS L MAIN OFF THE RWY AND ONTO THE GRASS, ON THE L SIDE OF THE RWY. TWR NEEDS TO INCREASE SPACING BTWN ARRS IN ORDER TO PREVENT NEAR COLLISIONS. TWR NEVER INSTRUCTED BARON TO GAR, AND BARON NEGLECTED TO GAR.
