[Controversial cab-hailing app Uber does not break the law,
the High Court has ruled.
Black cab drivers had argued that by using GPS signals to
calculate the cost of a journey, it was breaching a law which
bans private hire cars from being equipped with taximeters.]

I would never get in any other cab but a black cab, unless it had been pre-booked with a company.

the scheme itself is not dodgy, it should lead to cheaper taxi fares. However, it doesn't negate the inherent risk of taking an unlicensed cab directly off the street.
