Hi, I scrapped my car on Tuesday but I've not got around to posting the V5 slip back off to the DVLA yet. I notice you can do so online, but as I'm three days late, will this trigger an automatic prosecution if I do it? The V5 states you should inform the DVLA immediately. (their bold).

I'm probably overthinking this, but thought I'd check in case anyone here knows!

Thanks all. The service has now closed (why does an automated online service have opening hours?!) but will do tomorrow.
