I didn't make it through temporary traffic lights
Discussion
Was going uphill behind a very slow moped learner driver who was dithering lights were definitely green when I went through.
However didn't make it through to the end which was uphill couldn't see the other end of the traffic lights to know if somebody was waiting. Got beeped and gesticulated at in the usual "what the hell are you doing" type way.
Definitely not my fault in my opinion.

What is the point you are making OP?
Even if the opposing lights were green by the time you got to them oncoming drivers should not proceed unless it is safe to do so.
Didn't stop the Range Rover driver attempting to barge through at the other end Even if the opposing lights were green by the time you got to them oncoming drivers should not proceed unless it is safe to do so.

The OP does seem to have a chip on his shoulder about SUV drivers.

No, definitely your fault.However didn't make it through to the end which was uphill couldn't see the other end of the traffic lights to know if somebody was waiting. Got beeped and gesticulated at in the usual "what the hell are you doing" type way.

Meh. It happens with temporary traffic lights. It sometimes happens with permanent ones.
On a "me, then you" traffic lighted one way system, I saw the road in one direction get completely stopped once because the traffic in my direction (thankfully!) was moving slowly enough that it wasn't fully clearing the bridge before the lights cycled back to green again. It wasn't clear that was happening until you were halfway through either, so wasn't like anyone thought "hey, I'll wait for a cycle" to help clear the backlog."
