“all the drivers started moving again as if..nothing much happened!”

Probably not. They were likely thinking they need to haul ass and get off that bridge in case it collapses.

I think it would occur to me to get off the bridge as soon as possible, either on foot or vehicle.

A motorcycle’s suspension — especially a dirt bike — would absorb a lot of the up and down movement but the side to side movement would be tricky and the rider would have to compensate much as for a sudden crosswind.

Taipei was 3 on the Japanese intensity scale.

Taipei is 75 miles from the epicenter, of course it was less intense there. The city of Hualien is about 10 miles from the epicenter, and some smaller towns almost on top of it.

Not sure why you feel the need to downplay the severity of this quake. It was a big one.

Big magnitude but low intensity , just emphasizing that fact . We get 4/5 intensity quakes all the time in Japan and they cause little to no big problems . Just yesterday had a 6.1 / 5 intensity quake in Iwate , Japan . No major problems . Next thing the Americans will be blaming China for the quake .
