The driver just drove off (no stop to see if the scooter driver was ok),
Well, at least you should give him credit for not running over to the scooter guy making sure that he is dead...
Jokes aside - this is the mentality in third world countries starting from China to and ending up in Indonesia and vicinity. Alive and injured person would cost him way more than payment for his family in case he is dead.
At this moment, take it or leave it - you can't change them in split second, it changes slowly.
P.S. Special warning to Western tourists who think that getting scooter rental in Vietnam (or any other neighbouring country) and drive it around is a great idea: in case of accident you know what kind of treatment (not only medical one) you will get.
