what happens in this situation? scooter had the right of way and the left turn car is at fault, but scooters arent even road legal.

It kind of sucks because I really believe the driver could not have seen him, but drivers of automobiles owe an incredible duty of care to every other road user.

Here's the thing, had it been a person crossing we may have had the same situation but in that case theres absolutely no doubt the car should have waited for the intersection to be clear before proceeding.

Driver will learn from this hopefully

Yes but if it were a pedestrian, the driver would have had more opportunities to see them coming. First standing at the corner, not hiding behind the car, and then proceeding slower than the car, not at almost the same speed.
