Is it not allowed now?

The problem is that it's counter-productive to the contester, as it 
reduces the number of QSOs.  If you're an active mobile station, the 
county-hunters know it and will watch for you to change counties.  
You can park on the side of the road and run a bunch of guys, then 
move your car 15 feet and do it all again, doubling the QSOs.  I 
know, I've done it...and had all the CH guys follow me.

You straddle a county line, and you've cut your QSOs in half...or 
worse if it's a junction of 3 or 4 counties...like those guys in the 
sailboat in SF bay do every year for the CQP.

Every time I work a mobile on a county line, I think, "just lost a 
QSO".  And, FWIW, I'm a county hunter...kinda.  I'm just not active 
in it now.
