A latch bar is provided on the center pillar of the vehicle so as to engage with the engaging hole of the door pole in the closed position of the door. When the door is closed, the safety belt extends diagonally across the passenger's body, and when the door is opened, the safety belt is positioned to permit the passenger to get in and get out of the vehicle.
