Format, years and the law

Format
LL-99L, for example JQ-26J (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The same grammar in miniature: district letters, then a short meaningless serial. Red script is the moped signal, Austria registers mopeds like any vehicle, so there is no German-style insurance plate changing colour every year.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
1989 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Moped: insurance/registration plates for mopeds (NL/DE small plates). Issued for moped.
Colours
Characters #FFFFFF Background #CC0000

About this plate
MOTORFAHRRAD- UND LEICHTKRAFTFAHRZEUG-KENNZEICHEN. Motorfahrräder sowie für Anhänger gemäß Abs. 3 … rot / weiß", no vierrädrige Leichtkraftfahrzeuge. They joined the red row with BGBl. I Nr. 80/2002 in force 1 November 2002, and the same instrument's § 135 Abs. 15 is explicit that they had been WHITE: "Weiße Kennzeichentafeln, die für vierrädrige Leichtkraftfahrzeuge ausgegeben worden sind, bleiben noch bis längstens 31. Dezember 2002 gültig. Der Zulassungsbesitzer eines solchen Fahrzeuges hat innerhalb dieser Frist die weiße Kennzeichentafel gegen eine rote auszutauschen." The claim needs its date, not deletion.
Separators
Anlage 5e's Muster VI splits the string across fields G (Behörde), H (first one or two Vormerkzeichen) and K (last three) with no separator glyph at all.
