Here's some advice from the RSA:
Walkers should walk on the right and face the traffic if there are no footpaths, and cyclists should make sure they and their bike are visible.
The RSA says drivers need to slow down and allow a greater braking distance between themselves and the vehicle in front in wet weather - and hold back from goods vehicles generating spray that reduces your visibility.
Don't attempt to drive through floods as the water might be deeper than you think, the verges could have subsided, and there could be trees or branches down, that aren't visible.
Drive with dipped headlights at all times and expect the unexpected.
