As I understand it, three-point belts are verboten in the upper run groups. I would imagine that the forces contorting your body in an impact would far overshadow any degredation of the belt's integrity at that point, if a three-point factory belt were being worn. Hence the need for a five-point harness.
OP - I noticed that you have posted before regarding your search for harnesses. Why so much push-back against what appears to be a pretty fair and straightforward requirement? Do you seriously expect an instructor to risk his or her life by riding in a car with expired belts? Don't use an instructor? Well then you will never advance.
