The cops were already searching for the wanted man when they started following him near East Bridgford on June 11.
He appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on June 12 and pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance and driving whilst disqualified.
He was then jailed for 32 months on July 17 and handed an extended driving ban.
Sergeant Craig Luckett, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “Whenever we begin a pursuit on the roads, public safety is always our number one priority.
“So, when this individual went to enter a busy dual carriageway in the wrong direction we had no choice but to take immediate action to bring the pursuit to a safe resolution, it doesn’t bear thinking about the carnage which could have ensued had my officers not taken direct action.
“Thanks to the quick thinking, professionalism and courage of all involved this man was swiftly detained and the public protected from harm.”
A spokesperson for the force said: “A dangerous and disqualified driver was rammed by a police car after he tried to drive the wrong way along the A46.
“Officers were searching for the wanted man Wayne Sykes when they began following him near East Bridgford on Thursday 11 June.

“Sykes, a disqualified driver who failed to appear in court earlier in the week for driving related offences, then failed to stop as he drove towards the village of Newton.
“As he rounded the roundabout at the junction of Bridgford Street, Skyes forced the pursuing officers into immediate action by mounting a grass verge and drove the wrong way towards oncoming traffic exiting the A46.
“Fearing for public safety, the pursuing officers immediately made tactical contact with the rear side of Sykes’ Vauxhall Insignia, sending it spinning around.
“As Sykes then tried to reverse away, two other police vehicles completed a containment manoeuvre to box the vehicle in.”
