It's legality is another debate entirely. Regulations have stifled competition in this industry, and afforded taxi companies undue leverage over it's consumers. If the driver wants to incur the risk of driving without the mandated insurance, and the consumer receive a lift without the mandated documentation, they both full well know the risks, and accept them because the price(at the moment) reflects as much.
