HOLD FOR RELEASE AT 12:01 A.M. EDT AND THEREAFTER ON THURSDAY, AUG. 22, 2013 - FILE - In this Sept. 20, 2011 file photo, a phone is held in a car in Brunswick, Maine. Americans are significantly less worried about drunk, aggressive and drowsy driving than they were four years ago even though traffic deaths have begun to edge back up, according to a survey by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. At the same time, most Americans consider texting while driving completely unacceptable behavior, although one in four admit doing so recently. (AP Photo/Pat Wellenbach, File) | Pat Wellenbach
