This is true. In fact the three point belt is a highly evolved species in today’s automobile. Especially with modern air bags.

The fact that the chest strap allows your head and torso to move prevents 1) getting crushed in a roll over (the problem with a 5 or 6 point harness w/o a cage) and 2) your body submarining in an accident (is that a word?) under the belt and into the floor board (the problem with MOST 4 point harnesses.)
