"My aunt (beginnings of dementia) went to ANOTHER doctor who cleared her at the DMV and she was able to get her license back again."

Then your saying she was able to understand enough to go too another doctor to stop her family from meddling in her life?
Sounds like your cousin over reacted and the doctor went along to avoid trouble. Much like they did with the injections.

She had been in numerous fender benders, would stop in the middle of the street for no reason, ran red lights, claimed “she didn’t see them,” rammed the back of the garage repeatedly because the “brake peddle wasn’t where it was supposed to be,” - all while appearing completely lucid - my family was trying to protect other drivers out there from an elderly relative who should not have been driving.

Fortunately, she entered a nursing home before she could kill anyone.

The doctor that over-rode our family and the original doctor and restored this relative’s driving ability should have been made to take a drive with her.

That is all.
