Convincing your husband that he shouldn't drive can be challenging, but here are some strategies that might help:

1. Express Concern: Share your worries about his safety and the safety of others. Use "I" statements to avoid sounding accusatory, such as "I am worried about your safety when you drive."

2. Involve a Professional: Sometimes hearing it from a doctor or a professional can make a big difference. Ask his neurologist or primary care physician to discuss the risks with him.

3. Highlight Alternatives: Suggest other transportation options like family members, friends, or ride-sharing services to make the transition easier.

4. Safety First: Emphasize that giving up driving is about ensuring his safety and the safety of others, not about losing independence.

5. Be Patient: Understand that this is a significant change and may take time for him to accept.
