Depending on the motive of the oncoming driver, one should stay the course and flash the lights, do not honk the horn (honking will make you look mad). Slow down but not too much.45 mph should do it. Play chicken for as long as possible and within the last 50 yards swerve to the right. If the oncoming driver is suicidal, he or she will stay the course and maybe try to clip one's car on the side as one passes to his or her left. If not, the oncoming driver may notice his or her error and swerve before hitting one's car.

Pulling over and hoping the oncoming driver passes by is a recipee for disaster. If the driver is suicidal, one is only making oneself an easier target by standing still. Call the oncoming driver's bluff and stay the course as long as possible an then getting out of the way in the last couple of seconds.
