It's not dangerous if the driver doesn't do it dangerously. As for it
being illegal ... what *are* you talking about? Are you thinking of
minicabs?

I'd query "thinking".

The current rules seem to go back to 1999, I don't know how they
changed, if they did.

On one hand it seems to be fine to hail a taxi if it isn't dangerous
or causing a nuisance (which it usually is), but on the other hand
drivers can't ply their trade away from a rank. Seems to depend on
whether they are moving.
