When Chrome was updated, Selenium stopped working

I updated my browser from Chrome 75 to 77, and now my code has stopped working - this is after updating the Selenium driver - it still runs it does just not do what it did before.

I wrote a programme to take a vehicle reg checker, enter it into the government reg checker and return three bits of data to do with the car linked to that reg.

It doesn't seem to get to the page after the reg has been accepted - the one where you click yes then continue.

I've tried to remove the try and except clauses which seems to fix it... but then sort of ruins what I'm trying to do!

def vehicleRegChecker(vehicleReg):

    from selenium import webdriver

    try:
        driver = webdriver.Chrome()
        driver.get("https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ConfirmVehicle")
        driver.find_element_by_name("Vrm").send_keys(vehicleReg)


        python_button = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button[@name='Continue'][@type='submit']")[0]
        python_button.click()

        python_button = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@data-val='true'][@type='radio']")[0]
        python_button.click()

        python_button = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//button[@name='Continue'][@type='submit']")[0]
        python_button.click()

        fuel_type = driver.find_element_by_id('FuelTypeShown').text
        years_of_manufacture = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//li[.//*[contains(text(), "Year of manufacture")]]//strong').text
        cc = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="CylinderCapacity"]//strong').text

        print(fuel_type)
        print(years_of_manufacture)
        print(cc)

#        driver.quit()

        return([vehicleReg,fuel_type, years_of_manufacture, cc])

    except Exception:

#        driver.quit()

        return([vehicleReg, "vehicle not found"])
