The courthouse handling San Bruno DUI cases
San Bruno DUI cases are filed at the San Mateo County Superior Court, 400 County Center, Redwood City. See the San Mateo County DUI defense guide.
The DMV Driver Safety Office
The South San Francisco Driver Safety Office handles APS hearing requests for San Mateo County DUI arrests, including San Bruno. San Bruno is one of the closest cities to the DSO, making in-person hearings practical. The 10-day deadline runs from the arrest date.
You have 10 calendar days from your arrest date to request an APS hearing. Missing this deadline means automatic license suspension beginning 30 days after arrest. Contact the applicable Driver Safety Office immediately or have an attorney request the hearing on your behalf.
Law enforcement and DUI enforcement patterns
San Bruno PD enforces DUI on El Camino Real and throughout the city. CHP enforces on US-101 between SFO and South San Francisco. San Bruno BART station generates late-night enforcement. The city’s location between two major employers (SFO and the South San Francisco biotech corridor) creates consistent after-work enforcement.
How local prosecutors handle DUI cases
San Bruno DUI cases are prosecuted by the San Mateo County DA’s office. Standard Peninsula prosecution posture. Wet reckless reductions available.
