How to use conducir in the affirmative commands
The tú command is conduce; the others come from the subjunctive: conduzca (usted), conduzcamos (nosotros), conduzcan (ustedes). Conduzca con precaución is a standard road sign. Negative commands use the subjunctive: no conduzcas cansado. In Latin America, the command maneja is more common in everyday speech. The usted form conduzca can also mean take or lead someone somewhere, as staff in hospitals and hotels sometimes use it.
