My name is Michael Maloney, and I’m a fully licensed, qualified driving instructor now based in tropical North Queensland.  For me, driving is more than a licence—it’s about safety, confidence, and independence. Importantly I am patient, knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and able to adapt my teaching to suit each learner’s needs.

 

At 42, I bring patience, empathy, and life experience to every lesson. I work with learners of all ages—including those managing anxiety—to ensure they build skills for real-world driving.

​

After losing a family member in a tragic car accident that also claimed three other lives, I understand first-hand the dangers of being unprepared behind the wheel. That experience drives my commitment to teaching methods that don’t just help you pass a test, but equip you to stay safe and help reduce the risk of serious injury to yourself and all road users.​​

​

At Accelerated Learning Driving School, my mission is simple: to empower every student to become a confident, responsible driver, prepared for the challenges of the road.

​

The training vehicle is an automatic 2024 Toyota Hybrid Accent Sport and has a five-star ANCAP safety rating. The car is fully insured with comprehensive damage cover and I have private and public indemnity insurance.

​

Rest assured, your safety is my highest priority.
