Might try that out next time he's on a collision course with you, from that position behind your bike he'd be the one to take much more damage should he actually hit you... be sure to yell a reminder about wrong way while he tries to get around you...
Not a good idea- around here most of the people riding the wrong way are on crusty old tanks that would likely break my CF Cannondale in half. I'm guessing they don't have insurance or assets, either.
