Could you please keep going? Or don't stop please. Or go straight (until you say stop or drop me off here.)

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
I would say something like “a little farther” or “It’s just a little farther” or “It’s up ahead just a little farther”
There are a lot of other ways you can say it depending on the context, but in general I would tell the driver that it is farther ahead (it’s up ahead a little more) and I wouldn’t generally tell the driver in the form of a command (no matter how polite)
Something about the English language is that we tend to ask people instead of command + please like some might learn in English class.
-Could you __ (please)?
-Would you be able to
-Would you mind
-Would you be so kind as to __?
-If you could ___ (we say this a lot and it sounds like a sentence fragment/incomplete phrase, but it’s implied that we mean “If you could __ I would be grateful/I would appreciate it”)

So possibly I would also ask “Could you keep going just a little farther. It’s that building right there up ahead.” (This is actually how I ask my driver when getting a ride to my apartment building (the apartments where I live are numbered)
