Do not waste your time trying to convince either of them. Go directly to DMV and let them handle it. Someone with dementia may not have the capacity to process the issue. Someone who is just in denial like the wife may not either.
I have neuropathy in my left leg. It's not severe - but I will no longer drive a standard transmission car just in case it could be a problem. If this were my right leg I would give up driving even though I can still walk around, etc. - but I am still capable of making logical decisions. I hope if I get to the point where I cannot make good decisions someone will make them for me.
You could install hand controls. Neuropathy is not the same as a cognitive problem. If your mind will allow your hands to work, no need to stop driving. Just do it differently.
