They can give you vectors (suggested heading/ALT), it's up to you whether you accept them or not. But you had better let them know what you are going to do if it's something other than what they suggest. If you are on FF, it is assumed for practical purposes that you will cooperate...if you don't then 91.13 rears it's head.
