Aircraft; Human Factors
Cleared for takeoff; power was applied; and aircraft veered left and departed the pavement coming to rest in the grass next to the parallel turf runway. Main runway was temporarily closed; and alternate intersecting runway put into use. Once responding airport vehicles released the aircraft to taxi back to parking; aircraft taxied on closed turf runway prior to stopping at main (closed) concrete runway and calling Ground for taxi instructions. It would probably have been preferable for aircraft to call for taxi instructions prior to any movement. Signage could possibly be added as reminder that turf operations should have taxi instructions as well.
Single pilot reported that during takeoff roll the aircraft veered left and departed the runway. During taxi back to parking; pilot did not call ground control for taxi clearance.
